Big room, bed too high for handicapped

Need to make the handicapped room beds a little bit shorter. Its hard for a handicapped person to get in bed. Also our room had the bench seat taken out. That seat makes it easier to get dressed. The room itself was very large.

I liked the fact that the property was lit up all around for safety and that the office was open all night long. In case you needed someone. What I didn't like was that in the website it did not have a price for animals. Just said "pet friendly" when you got there you had to pay additional $25 per night.

The employee stopped checking me in when the phone rang even though we were almost finished with check in. The room smelled like a dog. Breakfast was included in the stay but they fail to mention you have to leave the building you’re staying in to go to another building to get breakfast. Numerous light didn’t work in the room. No way to quietly open or shut doors so you literally hear every door open and close. Definitely won’t be back.

The hotel was clean, the breakfast was very good. This hotel perfect location if you are visiting a student staying in a dorm on the south side of the campus. The big complaint we had is one of the outside door’s latch was taped open. Anyone get in the hotel and walk around the hallways. Not a very safe feeling!!
