Very clean & room had mini fridge & microwave. There wasn’t an exhaust fan in bathroom so it did steam up & the fixtures showed wear. That’s only reason gave 4/5. I felt very safe & staff was the BEST! Ubers available in mins time.

Not amazing but good enough

Nice hotel. Double queen room was tight. Breakfast buffet was very basic for $17per person. I opted for a cooked to order egg sandwich. All the service people were very friendly and helpful. I just felt like the room was a little small and the whole place needed some freshening up. Location near campus was ideal

Hotel is nice. Employees are exceptionally friendly and helpful. Room was very quiet. After walking quite a distance for food, I use a walker, I decided to eat at the hotel restaurant. While the food was good it was a bit pricey. I wish they would have had a shuttle to the neighboring hospitals. That would have been great. But it was a great choice in hotels near the hospital.
