Location worked well for us working at the university. Parking was expensive and the garage is tight. You need a reservation to use the pool because apparently it’s “too small” to allow guests to just use it. Complimentary coffee & tea was out for a very limited time. No lotion in the rooms as part of the amenities. Just an overall average stay at an expensive rate. They really should try to do better for the price.
