Very nice new property. Great area within walking distance of shopping and restaurants. The parking is $15 per night in a parking garage. Walking distance to the university. The breakfast was wonderful, hot items but very limited vegan selections. Floor to ceiling windows in room and breakfast area. There is no hot tub but they have a pool. I would stay here again. Beautiful area.

Perfect location and breakfast

I had a great experience there! I would say that everything was good, but the major point for me was the breakfast. What a good way to start a day! Perfect!

This hotel checks all the boxes for our must-haves: 1) clean and quiet room with comfortable mattresses, 2) convenient location and parking, 3) great breakfast, and 4) helpful staff. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and quiet. We walked to the pedestrian mall and university campus in less than 10 minutes. The parking is connected to the hotel with access to the elevators and is $15 per day which is a great rate for urban parking. The breakfast was tasty and offered a nice variety that worked for our entire family. The front desk staff were very helpful and welcoming. This is a great hotel at a great price-point. The rooms do no have a microwave which was not important to us, but it might be to others. We will certainly stay here again!
