Comfortable, great location, would stay again.
Pros:

Stayed here for 2 nights. Quick check in process, really nice staff, room has everything you need (including safe). Really good location in the campus, walking distance from the shoe which was great.

Cons:

Bed isn’t the most comfortable and generally the room could be a little more clean (had some ants coming in from the outside since I was on the ground level). But overall I would stay again

El alojamiento se encontraba bien situado en la zona universitaria, con facilidad de acceso y múltiples sitios para comer a un paso. La habitación era muy completa.

Cons:

Las colchas de las camas tenían manchas. Las sábanas en sí no.

Great stay
Pros:

Stayed a couple nights during the twenty one pilots concert. Great location - food chains and gas station across the road and a half hour walk to the stadium.

Cons:

Can be a little noisy with trolleys and bins getting emptied in the morning.
