We stayed here before a tour at the University. After a long day, the staff greeted us and were very friendly. The beds were comfortable. There is not a coffee maker in the room (if you’re like me and want some before you even attempt to do anything in the morning) BUT they have a coffee station 24/7 in the lobby. Breakfast was decent - eggs, sausage, potatoes, waffles/pancakes, yogurt, cereal, bagels, etc. we had a decent meal before leaving for the days’ activities.

The staff was friendly however the towels and bedding was not clean when I checked in. This should be changed after every guest even if you think it wasn’t used. The shower was not clean, I wore my flip flops to avoid touching the floor.
