We stay every time we visit my daughter in college. Love this place! Clean rooms and great location. And the staff is awesome! There’s only 1 person working the desk so if you show up to check in or need something, be patient because they’re probably helping someone else. :) They’re very kind and accommodating. My only gripe is, I wish they had microwaves in their rooms. Some have 2 mini fridges. But none have microwaves. But there’s one in the lobby for all to use. So not a deal breaker. :) Thanks for a great one night stay this time! See you soon for a longer one. ❤️

Had to wait an extra hour and fifteen minutes after check in for our room. I was told four times it would only be 10-15 minutes. Room was clean. Balcony doors do not lock. Hotel Parking lot is very very tight($25 a day)my vehicle was hit and the guy left his truck so close I couldn’t get in my vehicle. Communication with staff wasn’t that great( not a language problem).not sure if I would stay again
