This hotel is literary in the campus. We checked in after it got dark, so it was a little bit hard to recognize the building was actually the hotel. The staff was kind of business-like(not friendly). The parking was for free but it's nice to clear direction to where guests should park (the 4th level is for guests). The room was clean and spacious. One of the towel I used was with some hair left.
