Great place, no hot tub or pool, and no breakfast.
Pros:

rooms were clean and new, feels real fresh

Cons:

I thought for the price you could have offered a nice breakfast for the guests.

Absolutely worth it!
Pros:

The proximity to the university is perfect. Great area for families looking to get their kids into school with a lot of options for meals.

Cons:

Lost a full point because there is no complimentary water in the rooms, and ice is only available on two floors. Neither are an inconvenience, just wasn’t expecting it. Also, while some rooms have the automated blackout curtain — mine was manual. Again, not bad - but not what I was expecting.

Best service we’ve ever had at a hotel.
Pros:

The rooms were well thought out with tons of storage space. We absolutely loved the staff. Telara and her team took the BEST care of us between accommodation, local recommendations and even celebration as it was my fiancés birthday! They gave him a cake and balloons and it was truly a treat to stay at this property. We will be back.
