This hotel is convenient to the U of S. Parking is easy when you have the room card. The pool was closed. I thought it was interesting that the property waited until after my cancellation time to notify me of this. Upon viewing the hotel, it appears to be a reno project, not a short notice shut down. No compensation was offered nor an apology. Check in person was mediocre. Provided one card for a party of 5. Upon noticing this I needed to go to the back of the line and wait for all check ins before getting additional cards. The front loop while waiting to check in is very congested. The hotel area is fairly well lit, as is the parking. It is clean and safe feeling. For these reasons I would stay there again.
