Won't stay there again

We were not allowed to check in until 6:00p.m., a fact we were not told about in advance, the room was nothing special,and the staff was "distracted". For the cost of the room, I won't stay there again.

A great place

A beautiful hotel with friendly staff. On the "wrong" side of campus since we are coming from I35 but well worth the slightly more distance. Rates are competitive with the motels on the east side and the rooms are nicer.
