Nice hotel, with hot breakfast and good internet. Gym could be better, but that was my only real complaint. Room was spacious and clean. Staff very pleasant. Very good location, close to food, shopping and university. Will stay here again. More

Was not expecting the room lay out. The seperate bedroom with the kitchenette seperating the two rooms was awesome! It was so nice to have a little extra room to relax... More

We arrived around 1:30 and check-in was a breeze. The front desk staff was great and even found us a discount on the room. You don't find that very often. Our room was on the third floor and was nicely appointed and very clean. As I've stated in my other reviews, cleanliness is the most important aspect of a room.... More
