Friendly staff! Great health/safety protocol at check in. Nice, firm bed, hot shower, and windows that actually open! Toiletries were nice quality, AC was consistent, and the mini-fridge was really cold. I'm not smart enough to fully operate a Smart TV, so a little instruction sheet would have been cool. Overall, a great stay! And it's cool to support an on-campus hotel!

We traveled to attend an on campus event for admitted students. The rooms need to be updated. The temperature control was outdated. The toilet was a slow flush. It was very no-frills and if we had to pay the actual rate as opposed to the discounted rate, I would have been disappointed. This is a girl on the college campus, so for many of us this is the first impression of the university. The staff was very pleasant and friendly. They were all students and a joy to see them use their customer service skills. I just think that the school needs to invest in upgrading the rooms because this is where parents will be staying when visiting the school.

Location was great. Idyllic small college campus setting. DeskCleaning staff was nice and friendly. Room was dirty and needing repairs. Upon arrival commode was dirty, towels left hanging is shower from previous guest, caulking around bathroom sink pealed off, toilet seat was loose… basically the hotel really needs an update. Badly. A/C kept room comfortable temperature. Outside of hotel and lobby nice and looked well maintained. For $180 a night the interior of the rooms was a huge disappointment. Beds were horrible and the sheets were the roughest I have slept on. Actually having difficulty describing the discomfort of the sheets. Would probably compare to 120 grit sand paper. I definitely left some skin in that bed. Hotel was like a palace compared to the dorm I toured.
