"Everything was great, except for one thing I didn't like: the parking fee. It's $25 a day, which is way too expensive; I stayed there for several days and had to pay that amount each day, even though I couldn't even find a parking spot. They know full well that parents coming to visit their children at university have no other choice."

"The hotel room is tight with two beds, TV, desk and two chairs but it was clean and the bathroom updated. The room was very clean. The parking lot had plenty of spaces but both driveway entrances are up a hill and there is almost no way to scratch the bottom of your car. The outside noises are loud at times but we were able to sleep through the night. We did ask for extra towels and pillows, which was accommodated. There is a refrigerator in the room and an ice machine outside. Lots of restaurants and a park within walking distance."
