Very clean and comfortable room with nice and helpful staff. Staff was very kind and willing to help as i stayed the night there while a close family member got a very concerning diagnosis that day and i could not stop my tears. Shout out to Cody for giving me a ride back to hospital in the morning.

The property was so immaculate I have to assume it is very new. Absolutely nothing in the room or common areas showed any sign of wear. The gym equipment was all in pristine condition. The room was nicely furnished and the dark blue doors gave it a classy feel. The breakfast was modest as advertised but everything was fresh and frequently replenished. Convenient location - close to downtown and campus, with free parking. I will definitely be back!
