6/10 Good

Checking in was great, the room was pleasantly large and very comfy. However there were dirty finger prints all over the glass on the cabinets and hair on the shower wall and it was a put off. But breakfast was great, the lady running it was such a blessing. I will say, we were here because my husband had an early appointment at the hospital and would be there for several hours so after I dropped him off, I went back to the hotel to get ready for the day and figure out what I was going to do until he was done, I didnt plan on leaving until CHECK OUT WHICH IS 11. And I kid you not, houekeeping knocked on my door every 15 minutes starting at 9:00 am until I finally got so annoyed and left around 10:30 even after I told them I wasnt leaving until 11:00.

Very nice hotel, clean, comfortable, very friendly staff. The only thing is the shower door opened toward the sink making it awkward to maneuver in the bathroom. Not management’s fault. We highly recommend this hotel.

Conveniently located near the university campus, this hotel was comfortable for our one-week stay. The rooms are renovated and spacious with everything we needed.
