We loved the Urban! From the check-in process with a great staff, free ice cream, clean room, and lots of amenities, it was the perfect place for us to meet up with family. It was so close to the university and so many restaurants and activities. We definitely recommend it!

Great stay!
The hotel itself was amazing! Actually part of an apartment building, but it was very comfortable very clean. A little more information would’ve been helpful, but the front desk staff was outstanding. It was easy to walk to restaurants and other venues and the underground parking was very convenient!

Was just enough for an over night stay. I loved that there was a microwave and refrigerator in the room and the bed was comfy. Would book again.
