I believe this hotel is relatively new. It was very clean and the staff was helpful and friendly. Bed was comfortable. My room overlooked a busy street so in the evening there was some traffic noise, but it didn't bother me and it was quiet over night.

Rooms were ok, terrible pillows. A soul-less attempt at a boutique hotel, without the comfort or quality, but at a boutique price. Didn’t know my rented minivan would fit in their parking lot until I checked in. The feeble attempt at a gym on the roof was laughable.

Great value for the $ and the bikes are a nice free bonus. A bit of walk to campus but certainly doable and an easy $12 Uber. Nice pride of ownership at the property

The place was very clean and enjoyable. They do charge $29/day for valet parking which is the only off street parking they offer. It wasn’t clear when signing up. Also the street noise was loud but we were able to sleep with earplugs and it lessened in the early morning hours. I think they should had installed double pane windows. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms had hug quality furnishings and bathroom features (example- lovely shower tile and heavy glass doors). Felt well made and elegant. The bedding was very smooth. Chair and ottoman were great. The room layout is a bit awkward. Give it an A- for the price. Street noise only brings it down from A
