I love the hotel. My only recommendation is you should include the breakfast buffet. Most of the hotels by the university include the breakfast buffet. Overall I love the hotel.

No housekeeping for 4 days. piled up wet and dirty towels. Bed not made. Trash buildup. Ran out of toilet paper and coffee pods. Had to go down to front desk 3 times for towels, cups and then toilet paper. Asked desk 2 days in a row to have housekeeping come and freshen up the room. Never came by
