We enjoyed our stay. We were in town for a KU football game and it was convenient from the campus, clean & the breakfast was the cleanest I’ve seen in comparison to any other hotel in years. We’ll be coming back for basketball games in the future.

The staff was incredibly nice and welcoming. The room was huge and the bed was so comfortable! It still felt a little outdated and the AC was off in our room when we checked in which was a bummer.

Clean and comfortable room with a lot of space. Plenty of breakfast options. A little ways from dining options but not too bad. This is probably one reason it was so quiet. Helpful staff.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Initial room smelled bad but they moved us to another room that was much better (after some pushback). Was disappointed with the quality of the breakfast…cold eggs, tater tots and sausage when it was fresh at 6am. Hotel was fine but nothing special. On a positive note the bed was comfortable and slept well!
