Very nice, clean, quiet hotel with boutique feel and friendly staff. Best thing is being next to campus and walkable. Only negative was the restaurant did not have breakfast available the first 2 days of our stay, only had coffee which you have to pay for. Was told by server that grill broke on first day, then there was an “emergency” (maybe no kitchen staff?) the next day.
