The hotel had clean rooms, despite ongoing renovation, and a distinctly musty smell. The service was a mixed experience, with some staff being very helpful and others not very cooperative. The location was convenient, close to campus, but some aspects were an issue. The dining experience was a letdown due to false advertisement, and the facilities overall existed.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and updated, with a nice shower, but the check-in process was slow, and the initial room cleanliness was lacking. The Queen size bed and couch were comfortable, though.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. On one hand, the room was comfortable and clean with two queen beds in separate areas, and the breakfast was a nice touch in the morning. However, the room was a bit on the dirty side, affecting the overall experience.
