We needed a place to rest our heads for the night. This did the trick but in the future I’ll stay elsewhere. Price was right but it outdated and didn’t feel so well kept.

Considering the price of the room for graduation weekend, this hotel will disappoint in a big way. I am sure at $69/night it would be fine. But it was $350/night for graduation which is insane for a room like those offered at this place. Location is good though.
