This was a nice hotel and very convenient but at the end of the day it was a basic Hilton property they painted to look cute. I felt like it was overpriced - to pay over $250 on a random weekday during the summer when school wasn't in session was excessive. Plus parking is an additional $29. It was clean and an excellent location.

The location to campus is flawless great dining options very close by. My only complaints was the shower pan and interior of the tub was very old dirty and needed updating. The interior was fun and fitting to the location. There’s just no excuse for an outdated shower pan in a hotel bathroom.

It was nice, but you can tell it's an older hotel. Rooms were very clean. Self parking was a bit challenging, but the staff was super helpful. Part of that was because we arrived during a rain storm. We enjoyed playing shuffleboard in the game room. We also enjoyed the coffee shop and rooftop restaurant.
