The room was clean and updated. Comfortable beds and pillows. Always a must. The staff were all super friendly and helpful. Great, convenient location. The only downside, which I don’t believe the staff could have predicted, was the continental breakfast one day was over crowded and the staff could not replenish effectively. At one point there was over 30 people with half standing in line for food at 9:15. Service ended at 9:30. However the staff kept the area clean and tidy. You would never have known that many people swarmed that area in 15 minutes.

The room is large, comfortable and fully equipped. The main reason is that it is very close to the school, which is very good. After comparing several hotels, this one has the best value for money.
Private (exclusively for guests) is available On-site parking. Reservation not needed.
