The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were helpful and friendly. Lots of options for food in the area, but the roadwork was a little frustrating to navigate. Not the hotel's fault, obviously. Make sure you park in the correct parking garage as they will only validate one of them. Breakfast was plentiful and well stocked.

The location of this hotel is great. We were able to do everything we wanted to do and more. There is a fun pizza place across the street and the college campus is central. We enjoyed our breakfast and Katie(breakfast staff) is the absolute BEST! She is so helpful, kind, and her service is top notch. The rooms could use an update(floors/bathroom), but otherwise the accommodations were just fine.

Although the usual parking garage was not in use, the west garage was available and near by. I would recommend this hotel to others and will use again if in the area.
