Friendly staff, close to campus, warm bed and hot shower. I was traveling with a dog and they put me in a room on the first floor right by an exit door which was wonderful

The hotel offered good value for money. Some areas such as stair carpets are a little worse for wear and the breakfast could be improved but it was certainly worth the money

Comfy room

After reading some of the reviews ( which are admittedly older reviews)I was nervous about my booking. Yes, its a bit dated, but I was very pleasany surprised. The lady at the desk was friendly, the halls were clean and odourless and the room was just fine. Bed was comfy and clean, bathroom was clean. No issues! Thank you!

Clean but extremely frugal amenities

The bed was comfortable. The mattress was clean, but the box spring cover looked old and soiled. The blanket was old and worn. The pillows not the greatest. The coffee maker was placed high up in a closet and there was no coffee or cups. There was just one chair in the room. No paper or pen. No phone. Only one half-dollar size soap. One tiny tube of shampoo. Only one roll of toilet paper—no backup roll. One washcloth. Breakfast was cereal or a few pieces of pastry. The hotel had sufficient parking. It appeared to be owned or operated by people from India.

10/10 Exceptional

Clean but pretty worn and bedding is thin. Bath towels are small and thin. Heat was either on or off. Set to auto it never shut off and room got way too hot despite set at 70. Breakfast was ok but no juice at all - machine marked as broken. Pop machine broken too. Could be a great place but there are a lot of things that need to be fixed. Fantastic location and staff were great.

8/10 Very good

We stopped in early to make our reservation. We were going to be a late arrival. They have it posted that the lobby is open until 11:00pm. We knew it would be closer to midnight. They waited for us. She had the key in her hand when we came through the front door. Our only problem was the heater. It was very warm when we checked in. We turned it down to 68. It did not cool off. We completely shut it off. The staff was great.
