The overall hotel was great. The air conditioner in the halls was horrible. It was so hot in the hall and elevator. That’s not a good experience. Also they limit tye control you have on air conditioning in the room. I’m in the a/c business. Those units run on a higher speed but hotels limit that. It’s also to small of a unit for the size room we had.

This is a bare bones property, meaning it has the very basics, but no frills. For instance, there was a mini fridge but no coffee pot in the room. The bed was very comfortable and the room and bath sparkling clean. The pool is small and the free breakfast was typical of most hotels. The grounds were convenient for those of us traveling with pets which I appreciated. The location is easy access to the university and major highways, but set off far enough that noise was not a problem.
