My stay at the hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms, although small, were comfortable and well-appointed, providing good value for the price. The service was exceptional, especially from Anne in the dining room, who went above and beyond. The location was ideal, on the edge of the campus and in the heart of downtown. The dining experience offered a delicious spread every day. Overall, a fantastic stay with a few minor drawbacks.

I had a delightful stay at the hotel. The rooms were lovely and accommodating, though being right next to the parking lot was a downside. The service was exceptional, especially thanks to Anne in the dining room. The location was ideal for my visit to the university, but the contemporary room design was a bit off-putting. The dining experience was quite good, offering quality ingredients for a satisfying meal.
