There are good things and bad things about the Academia. I stayed for 3 nights but would have left after first except that I’d prepaid and couldn’t get my money back. The biggest negative issue is that WiFi is abysmal. It works on the main floor, but on the 3rd floor (where my room was) the WiFi was intermittent and weak. I couldn’t get any work done and eventually gave up. The 2nd problem was that my room was boiling hot. The thermostat in the room didn’t work, and I had to go to the front desk to ask them to lower the temperature. I ended up sleeping with the window open even though my room was on a busy street. On the positive side, the breakfast is excellent.

Great location and service

Superb location to do plenty of walking. Free parking for us (maybe had to do with Hotels.com status thought). LOTS of storage inthe room for hanging and storing clothes and belongings. Very safe. Excellent and helpful staff. The only thing was there was no coffee/tea service in the room, but that was probably communicated on the listing.
