After a small snafu at check-in to a room that hadn’t been fully cleaned yet (it turns out after 60+ rooms had been vacated that morning), the desk clerk quickly moved my room and called to check to make sure everything was suitable. The room was quiet, clean, and the bed comfortable, with great WiFi. I will stay here again!

The hotel was bright and welcoming. The staff was speedy and knowledgeable checking us in. You can smell how clean the sheets are. Option of firmness of pillows and 2 different toilet paper choices. The eggs at breakfast were just blah. Luckily, there were lots of other breakfast options. We would stay here again.

Simple, clean room near the university. We only stayed one night while on a road trip, so essentially just slept here, but felt safe and it served its purpose for our needs

Pros: the property Is very clean, bed comfortable, good water pressure, nice breakfast, friendly staff, pool. Cons: lighting in the rooms is AWFUL, the chairs in the room are very, very, uncomfortable, the desk isn't useable because it is so high and there is no chair other than one that you can't sit in because it pushes you out! I'm not kidding!!
