It was a quiet stay, nothing fancy - you get exactly what you're expecting from a stripped down dorm. Location was handy and the price was right. Showers left a bit to be desired but it was overall ok. I'd stay again.

Price is great. Super safe accommodations. A little warm at night and hot water takes a long time to get to shower and even when it finally arrives, it’s like warm. Beautiful university campus and it’s very close to some great food and coffee choices, along with recreation.

The dorm room was very clean and quiet. We went to spend the weeeknd helping our son move into another dorm and watch some of the football practices. The grounds were well maintained. Very easy to get around.
