Does the trick and clean and safe

King bed was comfy, room was small but had all we needed. Had to wait awhile when we arrived as there was no one at the desk for a bit. Good location to visit our UA student. Breakfast was more basic than some hotels but offered enough options. Would stay again.

I will never again stay at an IHG or AVID Hotel. Ever. The place LOOKS nice. But looks are deceiving. I was told I booked a 2 queen bed room. They weren't even close to queen size. Definitely FULL SIZE, not queen. They're not comfortable either. Then the floors and ceilings are paper thin and we couldn't sleep for the people walking around upstairs all night. The rooms are tiny. I highly suggest staying somewhere else that doesn't have an IHG logo on the front.
