The hotel seemed unkept, bed was very uncomfortable and someone was being really loud on our floor.
Pros:

We liked the location as we were attending new student orientation at Drake

Cons:

There was someong on our floor playing music really loud. The bed was very uncomfortable. It almost felt like springs of the mattress was going to pop out and poke me.
