This is one of our favorite properties to stay at. The rooms are comfortable, spacious and clean. The staff is always wonderfully friendly, at all levels.
The way the towels smelled so fresh and clean. The bed smelled fresh and clean. Everything was in walking distance and just an overall great experience.
I have stayed at this hotel while visiting my son at college multiple times and it is always wonderful. The rooms are clean. The staff is nice and it’s very centrally located to the university. The lobbies and downstairs reading and gaming area is always so cozy and inviting and with the holiday decorations, it was delightful this trip.
