Room is clean and the bed was comfortable. The rooms are on the small side but laid out well and had everything we needed for our stay.

Everyone at the hotel was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Breakfast was good enough, not great -a typical hotel breakfast of convenience. Hotel location was excellent, we were able to get to many university and city sites. We would stay here again.

Overall, this was a very good hotel. The rooms are very clean and neat and I like the minimalist touch. The only problem I had was the customer service. We waited 20 minutes to check in because the front desk attendant was outside doing something. When she returned inside she didn't say anything to us and checked us in as if we had just arrived. Her attitude was less than welcoming and it appeared that she did not want to be there.

The room was thoughtfully laid out - one firm pillow, one soft pillow on each side of the bed; plenty of place to hang or store suitcases and clothing without large dressers; comfy bed; blackout shade was the best we'd ever seen - actually blacked out the light with easy control; roomy bathroom, great shower, plenty of lights near the bed and around the room. Breakfast was plentiful and varied, with no waffle maker to generate a long line. Coffee available 24 hours a day. The staff members were all kind and efficient. We could hear some other guests, but most noise was muted by the great construction. Plenty of parking; great carts to help transport our luggage to and from the car. We hope to stay again.

Not the best night, just ok.
Booked the room, it said one room left. Once we went to check in we were told they had over booked. The receptionists was able to accommodate us which I appreciated. The hotel looks new and was clean. The room was nice but we couldn't get the fan on the AC to work. Also there was a dog across the hall barking. The walls are thin, you hear the woman in high heels clomping around above you at 2am and the toilet flushing in the rooms next to you. Also we kept being woken by a weird knocking. We thought it was the door but it wasn't. So it wasn't the best night, it was ok.

I loved this place for reasons I couldn’t tell from the pictures: it’s a new hotel and everything was so clean and thoughtfully designed. The floor is a vinyl (cleaner than carpet) with backing making it warm and soft underfoot. The lighting is bright and warm, switches can turn all the lights on in the area or you can switch individual ones on/off. Benches for your suitcases when you walk in, charging plugs, etc. it’s as if the designer actually stayed in the room and thought ahead about what guests would want. I’m done with musty old dimly lit rooms that cost more.

Nice hotel, fairly easy to get to. Clean, good condition. Only criticism is high “fees” not disclosed when booking, you only find out when you see the charge on your credit card statement. $75 fee on a $200 room. The fees do not include taxes, those are extra and expected.
