The room was comfortable, the staff friendly, and attentive. But the location of the room made it difficult to sleep as I heard doors slamming all night long. This was either to stairwell or storage room but it was constant enough to wake me every so often. Additionally, a lot loud talking in the halls. Though not a hotel issue it was annoying.

Disliked: Cleanliness
I was disappointed by the property. To pay close to $400 a night and find the hallway carpet stained and lacking a good vacuuming, the rooms were ok but I found medicine caplets under our bathroom cabinet that indicated the room wasn’t cleaned well, and to sta at a $400 a night hotel and for them to only have a sports bar was really disappointing. I understand it’s a college town; you’re attracting tourist and need to be catering to your audience. The pool area was nice, and I appreciated having laundry services available.
