Unusual but cool concept having a hotel in the middle of a college campus. Staff were friendly and very helpful. There were a few disappointments however. The cafe is only open 7-10am and the espresso machine wasn’t working. Id like to see the cafe be open for longer and offer more food options! Also, rooms are nice and beds comfortable but the decor was a bit lacking. Rooms could benefit from some additional artwork. How about some historic photos, or depictions of the Ursa Major & Minor constellations to tie together the theme of the hotel and its setting on a college campus? Bottled water in the room would be nice as well as some wider choices for tv entertainment instead of just a few boring cable channels with mostly ads. The study room next to the cafe is a wonderful space, with great decor, cool furniture and great books. Maybe incorporate some of these elements in to the rooms? Overall we were comfortable for our one-night stay but I couldn’t help thinking about all sorts of improvements that could be made.

Very nice, clean room. The only downside we experienced was the drafty half-open shower without a door to close.
