8.8/10 Excellent! (932 reviews)

The staff member was courteous though she was on a phone call on speaker phone when I arrived and throughout my check in process. Everything was clean and the room was as expected. I was only there for one night so I can’t speak to house keeping services.

This place is quaint and cozy. Our room was clean, well-appointed, and featured lovely details that made you feel like you were in a home. The breakfast was fantastic (egg bake, toast, fresh fruits, etc) and the dining area was adorable. Such a wonderful gem right on campus. Can't wait to stay again!
