You get what you pay for. Location fit my needs. Had go drive thru some skitchy areas to get to hotel. Old building with old interior. Tried to checkout for early flight and no one at front desk for an hour. OK for one night.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (345 reviews)

Great value for the $ and the bikes are a nice free bonus. A bit of walk to campus but certainly doable and an easy $12 Uber. Nice pride of ownership at the property
