Very clean...quiet. We did have a tiny problem with a few young children running up and down the hallway which was very annoying but the gentleman at the front desk nicely took care of that and swiftly. He let us check in a little early because he had great customer service skills and knew we were very ready to get out of our car from traveling. Thanks for a nice stay. This is our second time at this location near the University and we will definitely be back.

Room was not ready when checking in at 6:00 pm. Thought there was a complimentary breakfast, but not. Had to have our room rekeyed once. Elevator very slow. One was out of service. Room clean, bed comfortable. Location fine, but busy road to turn into and out of. Probably look around next time for a different spot.

The staff was really helpful. When we arrived, there was a missing bulb in our room that they replaced promptly. Later we realized there was kind of a musty smell though. Then, when we pulled back sheets there were some stains. I also found a long hair in my bed. My son and I have short hair. It was fine, but I won’t probably come back. Didn’t want to go through the hassle of changing rooms.

The staff was very efficient and helpful. Location, great. Our room was a disappointment. Room was outdated, stuffy, and hadn't been cleaned properly. There were crumbs all over one of nightstands, with lots of little handprints on it. The outside wall with a window had a very large stain on it, which appeared to be patched, but still looked like we were staying at the site of an old crime scene. Also, no comfortable place to sit in lobby area :(

The room was very clean. The staff was friendly. We enjoyed our stay here. The only issue we had was the sink faucet wouldn't ever give us hot water. We had to use the tub faucet to get hot water. We were in a room facing the street which was noisy until late at night when traffic finally died down.

Staff was great. Room was nice but our coffee maker didn't work, our shower flooded the whole bathroom at 1 oclock in the morning, out passkeys quit working and we couldn't get in. The hotel compensated us for those issues and other than those it was ok. Very clean place to stay.
