Great! Would definitely stay here again

Loved the breakfast. We spent some time in the pool as well as the gym.

Our stay was definitely more than we expected considering the price we paid.

We liked the fact that the room was so big yet the price was so cheap! We also liked the free breakfast. We liked having restaurants nearby in case we were hungry. We also liked that it was near our primary destination, the University.

We didn't like that the sofa bed mattress was so thin. We were also interrupted by someone knocking at our door multiple times saying, "housekeeping," around 9 pm then when we checked nobody was there; this only happened on one occasion though.

Location

Rude desk staff. Key cards stopped working. No vending machines with bottled water or soft drinks! No bottled water at breakfast. No wifi directions. Really bad uncaring staff behind desk.

I enjoyed the hotel overall.

It was clean, seemed centrally located.

The parking seemed cramp, didn’t like how the air conditioner needed the key card to operate.

Very good

Breakfast was good.

They didn’t have a reservation for me Fromm Booking .com. I had to go to my car and make another reservation using their website. In the end I got charged for a no show by booking .com😡

Stay was okay. And that’s it.

It was okay. Needs to be upgraded a little more

The breakfast sucked. No bagels. Ran out of toast. Only scrambled eggs and bacon. No sausage. Didn’t seem put together well.

Good and close to where we wanted to explor.

The breakfast was good I am happy it was not just grab and go breakfast.

I didn't pay attention and didn't realize I had to pay to park in their parking lot, beside that it was a good stay.

Checking in issue

After being in my room 30 minutes the in house phone rang. It was the front desk, demanding I come down that instant. I explained to the gentleman that I was on my cell phone with my psychiatrist doing a phone appointment and I could come down in 20 minutes. He said technically I was not registered in the room and needed to come down that instant. I continued talking to my psychiatrist and went to the desk as he would not accept waiting for my call to end. Once at the desk, three staff members asked if I was on the phone with Booking .com, I said, no with my psychiatrist. The lady at the counter said their was an issue with booking .com not paying the agreed upon amount and I walked away. The lady said something to the effect, we will take the balance due from your deposit if necessary. No further contact occurred during the first day. The next morning, I asked the desk clerk if it was resolved and they did not see an issue with the room. I was not charged any additional amount. Would use the hotel again.

Sad weekend made sadder

First they couldn't find our reservation then they didn't offer or know what bereavement rate was, then we get to our room and the heater wasn't working finally after calling the front desk twice they offered to bring more blankets or switch rooms with an upgrade I asked for a different room yet there was no upgrade. Staff was lazy and hard to find they charge to park on the property, which is ridiculous. I could understand if I didn't have a room, but we had a room. I was there to lay my aunt to rest.

overall great arrangement. parking arrangements for first time check in , bed options and dinner options would be great

location, staff, room, breakfast

parking arrangements for first time checkin. there is not enough space to park the car and complete checkin formalities. I had to park the car and did not have a way to come to lobby without access card. I had to pull two luggage’s over the ramp. the room could have given us 2 queen size beds

Nice place but ecologically unacceptably unaware.

It’s a nice location and the room was decent.

Breakfast room was totally overcrowded but worse: Plastic utils and paper plates. In 2022, seriously? So each person having breakfast here produces a massive amount of trash. This may be “normal” in many places in the US but it’s absolutely not acceptable. Get proper dishes or I’ll take my business back to Europe where people are at least a little less ignorant about the consequences of a throwaway society.
