We only spent one night here. We happened to be talking about pet names when we were checking in, and the desk gal chimed in with a “funny” story about the racist name her son gave his black cat. Oooookaaaaay…. No thanks. The beds were nice, and the room was clean, but some idiots above us started thumping around doing god knows what at 2am. Unlucky? No sound insulation? A mixed bag stay.

It was situated outside the town in a quiet area along decent sized streets to access the college. I was supposed to be able to work from this hotel, but the internet service that was promised was spotty, undependable, and hard to access. You had to jump through hoops and watch their commercial for a crumby 10bps speed internet. Not really what was advertised.
