"The rooms are very spacious and equipped with many necessities including full fridge and freezer, stovetop, full length ironing board, etc. Also, the staff were helpful and kind. Iโ€™m not sure if the hotel owns the restaurant as well, but staff at โ€œ205โ€ were extremely friendly as well. We really enjoyed our stay!"

"Rooms were clean and there is a separate vent in the bathroom for moisture and noise reduction. Staff were super friendly. Breakfast options were good and are available until 10am. Convenient location to campus. Ample parking. Only caveat is that there is a median on the street so if youโ€™re approaching with the hotel on your left youโ€™ll have to make a u-turn somewhere to get there."
