All is well except for the communication. You can rarely get a hold of anybody at the front desk.

The resort is amazing. The condo was very dated and had a lot of wear and tear. It didn't diminish our trip but could use updates and repairs.

The campus is within the 3 mile shuttle radius. The shuttle driver picked us up at an alternaitve dinner spot, Lucca Ristorante.

Stayed here with my family when we did college drop off. This was an excellent choice as we had rented a car. The drive to and from was not bad and worth it if you like a quiet get away from the bustling city. Although adjust drive during "rush" hour, it was normally 15-30 mins. Worth it for us as we saved a little money. Additionally, we were near the shopping center so we were able to picking up missing items for our kids dorm.

Try the food trucks parked along side of the football field.

A reasonable alternative to staying downtown or closer to CMU campus, as the hotel is located in Homestead, which is just across the bridge connected to Oakland.
