Overall place was nice and in a very good location. The Pub on site was okay however understaffed for breakfast and some of the taps were flat. But the rooms and stay were nice I would come back for accommodations again.

4/10 Fair

Breakfast was tasty at the pub but limited to $30. Rooms are looking very tired. Vanity top was titled off the wall and covered with burn marks. Bathroom light cover was hanging askew. Hair dryer was broken, just flamed red with no air. Floor was sticky. Person at the front desk was helpful getting the tv to work. Internet was far from reliable.

The hotel is very close to the university. I very much enjoyed my stay. The staff were all very lovely and helpful - the best part about the stay, really!! I also very much enjoyed the onsite restaurant.

Room was sub-par, smelled of cigarette smoke and wet carpets. Over looked the dumpster. Nothing like the picture shown. The attached restaurant was top notch with great food and wonderful staff.
