Liked: Cleanliness
The location was very convenient (walking distance to downtown and campus and very quick access to running/walking trails). This was the main reason we chose it. Not particularly quiet but not as noisy as I'd have expected given the very busy location. Room was quite basic, but clean. Many dining options nearby.
