The rooms are wonderful..because it is basically a conference center , the food service for guests is lacking. The bar serves a continental breakfast for 2 hours, and has no dinner service on weekends, thus no food available at all on the weekends. There is no coffee in the rooms but rather this pantry on each floor, where you need to go to get coffee. I’m not sure why they have this set up, but it didn’t work for me to have to go down 2 halls to get my morning coffee.

This hotel is literary in the campus. We checked in after it got dark, so it was a little bit hard to recognize the building was actually the hotel. The staff was kind of business-like(not friendly). The parking was for free but it's nice to clear direction to where guests should park (the 4th level is for guests). The room was clean and spacious. One of the towel I used was with some hair left.
