Stayer beware

The TV didn’t work. On Friday we asked for a remote to be brought to us-that didn’t happen. On Saturday I went to the front desk and they gave me a remote. The remote didn’t work-they said they would send maintenance-they never showed. There was no shampoo or conditioner or Kleenex in the room. Only one washcloth. The heater made a clicking sound all night long that was loud enough to keep me awake.

Great service and a decent room for the price, extremely close to campus - if this is the general category of accommodations you're considering, and most of us in the real world inhabit this bracket, then you'll be satisfied with staying here, no nasty surprises or complaints, and staff friendliness was a bonus. Its not the Ritz but its where I will be staying again next time I'm in town.

It was okay

It was just okay. Called the front desk 3 times and never got anyone to answer. Internet was slow, I was in a room that you could hear the heater click every 10 - 12 seconds. The bolt on the door was broken.
