Hair was in the shower. It was quite gross. The fire alarms went off around 11pm Saturday night and was on for about 20 mins. The overall stay was great and the facility was clean overall. The staff was friendly as well.

Good value, can be noisy

Hotel fine for our one night stay to visit our student. Can be very noisy if your room is on Huger street, especially weekend nights due to traffic. Bed very comfortable. Cleanliness okay, not great. Fitness center disappointing since both treadmills were out of order. Limited things to do. Everyone very friendly. Decent value for price

Great option, great location!

This was my second stay in the last six months and both visits were great! Very accommodating and helpful front desk. They are transparent about road noise, but I travel with ear plugs so no problem for me.
