The hotel was exactly what we needed. The elevator was broken but that wasn’t a big problem for us. It might have been for some guests who were also on the third floor.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Pros: staff friendliness and hospitality, atmosphere, proximity to town and campus. Cons: walls are thin and building is dog friendly, so when other guests’ dogs whine and bark all day/night, staff can’t really do anything to help. Shower’s “modern” design (no curtain or door) = weak water pressure and water goes everywhere. Coffee is pulled every AM so you have to buy it from the restaurant. Overall I would stay again, but would look elsewhere first. Lastly, ask for a room away from the elevators, the dinging and guest noise can be distracting at all times.

Service in the restaurant was extremely slow. The food was good but it took a long time to receive it and what we ordered was not what we received. My wife’s omelet was made wrong and by the time she received her correct one I was completely done eating. Then it took several minutes after we were finished to get our bill. It was not crowded at the time. Only a few other customers were there.

Overall, the hotel is on beautiful grounds and it’s cleanly with a lovely staff. I had a room with an adjoining door that was closed, but the next room remover was still very clearly audible like I could hear the person snoring at night. It wasn’t a dealbreaker and I would stay here again, but I would find a room with no adjoining door

Overall this property is dated and needs a lot of TLC. Elevator was a mess, furniture was dated, the mattress was worn out and squeaky, hot water took forever to make it to the shower. Not worth the price point they ask.
