Liked: Staff & service, amenities
This property was nice. Good location for us near the college. Looked like they were fixing up the place. Hot tub broke. In our room the cold water ran out quick so the shower was burning after a few minutes. A little dirt in the bathroom. Liked the breakfast, workout room. The room itself. Price was good.
