Loved It!

My sister and I stayed there for a concert and then stayed an extra night. Everyone was super friendly and our room was awesome. The cleaning staff just forgot to give us more coffee so we called the front desk. Within five minutes, it was delivered !!!!

An excellent hotel and a very comfortable stay. Staff was superb and courteous, excellent facilities convenient to university. For me, the only drawback was that parking is available only in an adjacent garage and must be paid for each time you leave and re-enter unless you choose valet parking. nonetheless, this is an outstanding hotel and the parking inconvenience is probably negligible for many.

I thought the property was very nice and well maintained. My only complaint was that the rooms aren't very soundproof. I could hear other guests' doors closing, the toilet being flushed above us and voices in conversation, all while trying to sleep. Otherwise we had a very nice stay.

Our check in was easy and fast. The valet and front desk were polite and extremely helpful (when checking out as well). The location is fantastic. Stadium is a 5 minute walk and everything else is within a 15 min walking distance as well. 10/10 recommend!
