Room was clean and comfortable. Plenty of space. Parking next door for $15. Plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance. Very cool area to hang around and grab a drink, have a bite and just walk the paths along the river. Would definitely stay again.

Was a bit unsure of where to park upon arrival. Perhaps I missed a note or disclaimer about that prior? If not, maybe that would be a helpful notification for guests. Otherwise, my stay was really quite accommodating. Thank you!

Very clean and staff was friendly. I choose this hotel to use the hot tub and pool but it was not open and I didn’t know until we arrived. In addition we tried to order room service and were told it was not available due to the hotel being busy.

Travelled with family and small children
Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
We loved the location and convenience of the KSU Hotel, and the room itself was large and clean. However, the pool and hot tub were down when we visited, which was a big factor in our choice to stay due to having our 6 and 8 year old children with us. Also, the bathroom was very small for a family of four and only had a shower, with no bathtub, and very little vanity space. While that would be great for adults only, with kids it would have been nice to have the option of a larger bathroom with a tub.
