8/10 Very Good! (1,015 reviews)

Though I was able to check in successfully and the hotel was clean and staff friendly enough. For whatever reason there were several additional attempts at charging my card. So I more than likely won’t stay here again

This was a great option with the hotel on the college campus for convenience to visit with grandkids but also walking distance for great restaurants. Very clean, friendly and accommodating staff. Highly recommend it.
