The room looked very dated, but very clean. It was loud, I could hear all the noise outside and in the hallway. The elevators are very small, had to wait on elevator the next elevator a couple times. Front desk staff were extremely professional and the valet excellent service!! The restaurant on site very nice and the food was good. I gave a 4 star only because of the hotel itself felt dated, and I felt the valet waiting area was very cramped when there was more than one guest waiting for their vehicle. Also because of being able to hear all outside and hallway noise.

No complimentary breakfast, paid breakfast seems to be available per night paid parking and mandatory valet parking provided. Complimentary breakfast and free self parking should have been included/expected. I chose a different hotel next time. It’s close to both the universities. May be better place to stay if visiting universities.
