Room was spacious and fairly comfortable for the three of us. The reception area was under renovations but they organized the area quite well considering.

Good hotel located on a university campus. However, there is construction at the hotel and on the nearby road, so it can be noisy during the day. There’s no on site restaurant, and breakfast is a simple grab and go option.

not as bad as the reviews make out
I picked this hotel due to its proximity to my office. I have to say I was put off by the bad reviews. But I thought I’d give it a try. It was surprisingly ok. Good points - friendly enough staff, bed was comfortable, room was airy, breakfast was decent and plentiful. Bad points - pillows were not great, breakfast area pretty rammed in the morning and chaotic, room decent but a little tired in places. Overall I would stay again, as its pretty decent and a good base for a few days.

Nice hotel. Unfortunately, an unknown when I booked the room, the hotel is renovating and there is construction going on around the hotel. Several things were not open like the restaurant and gym. A bit noisy. Inconvenient to meet Ubers and taxi due to road work. But overall a nice stay.

Frustrating experience
The hotel was undergoing a major renovation, and while they informed us about this after we booked it, the inconvenience was greater than expected. They offered a discount upon our expressing our issues, which they later denied and I have yet to receive.

Everything was good except you cannot plan to do your own laundry because the place is being renovated
