Initial room smelled bad but they moved us to another room that was much better (after some pushback). Was disappointed with the quality of the breakfast…cold eggs, tater tots and sausage when it was fresh at 6am. Hotel was fine but nothing special. On a positive note the bed was comfortable and slept well!

Clean and comfortable room with a lot of space. Plenty of breakfast options. A little ways from dining options but not too bad. This is probably one reason it was so quiet. Helpful staff.

Very disappointed

The owner was very rude, did not abide by 3rd party rules when checking in. Front desk staff was rude, lacking customer service. Had a stay booked in October, will not stay again. Very disappointing as a KU parent. Will advise others to not stay there.
