Everything was perfect. I was surprised to see a full kitchen with an oven/stove. All utensils/glasses/plates provided. There is construction going on around the property, but that’s beyond the hotel’s control. The only meh was we were not allowed to park a second vehicle in the hotel garage. This was a bit of an annoyance since it required downloading a parking app to secure parking for the day. Other than that, great place to stay.

Was just enough for an over night stay. I loved that there was a microwave and refrigerator in the room and the bed was comfy. Would book again.

Fantastic location with friendly staff. Underground parking is convenient. The only downside is nearby construction creating road closures and noise.

Disliked: Amenities
Staff was nice. Construction next to the property made it hectic. The room was TINY and I think that should be noted. I mean TINY. Parking is kind of a mess. There are collage students in the residential part of the building so it was quite noisy. Would be ok for 1 person- we were cramped w/ 2 people.

Clean well-kept option within walking distance of the sports stadiums and High Street. The building has it's own parking garage a major plus on a college campus. Rooms are small but roomy common area and rooftop leisure area are nice.
