Bit of a strange hotel. I didn’t get the room I had booked and the hotel wasn’t very helpful at sorting this out refunding the difference. Rooms have noisy old AC systems and feel a bit like an 80’s Hilton room. Staff are pleasant

Service in the restaurant was extremely slow. The food was good but it took a long time to receive it and what we ordered was not what we received. My wife’s omelet was made wrong and by the time she received her correct one I was completely done eating. Then it took several minutes after we were finished to get our bill. It was not crowded at the time. Only a few other customers were there.

Pros: staff friendliness and hospitality, atmosphere, proximity to town and campus. Cons: walls are thin and building is dog friendly, so when other guests’ dogs whine and bark all day/night, staff can’t really do anything to help. Shower’s “modern” design (no curtain or door) = weak water pressure and water goes everywhere. Coffee is pulled every AM so you have to buy it from the restaurant. Overall I would stay again, but would look elsewhere first. Lastly, ask for a room away from the elevators, the dinging and guest noise can be distracting at all times.

The hotel was exactly what we needed. The elevator was broken but that wasn’t a big problem for us. It might have been for some guests who were also on the third floor.
