I love that the autograph hotels each have their own style and don't feel like a typical Marriott--it takes things up a notch. This one was no exception. We were very pleased with our stay and the in-house bar and restaurant was very nice, convenient, and tasty. I didn't know what to expect in this area but we were moving my son into the dorm and wanted to stay fairly close. The location was great since it felt safe and we could walk to various parts of the campus and the museums. I would absolutely book again if in the area.
