I had sent a written message to hotel that my nephew should not be inconvenienced while checking in. Still at middle of night front desk person harassed him till he woke me up. He was checking in a day late and that was communicated to the hotel ( I have the proof). Still hotel kept telling him that the reservation was canceled as no one checked in the prior day. Suggestion to future guests sending their kids- please avoid this hotel, even if your kid has to stay at some distance from campus

Was not aware that there was only valet parking at $35.00 a day. That was a shock atvthe extra cost that I had to pay. The tolet would not stop running and the pillows were all so soft.

Great location; excellent service. Hotel had a restaurant but it would have been nice to have free lobby coffee. Also, I would have had a nightcap at the bar but it was lit up like a Christmas tree. No one wants to sit at a bar under a spotlight.
