This location is very convenient to the University. The staff were also very nice and helpful. They let me leave my bags until check-in. Check-in time at 1:30 PM worked well. Breakfast included a good choice with self-serve options for coffee and tea.

The shower head was cemented into the tile wall, which seemed flimsy! It was it had fallen off before. I think the bathroom would benefit from updates.
