The location of this hotel cannot be beat for visiting students that live on campus. The hotel seems clean, however is a bit tired and can use some updating. The rooms are very dark and though I love the TN theme throughout, the rooms are dated and need a refresh.

We had a wonderful time during our stay! The hotel was very cute and the staff was extremely friendly. I wish they had bottle fillers and Nespresso/Keurig machines in the room; but this is a common issue in a lot of hotels atm.
