I thought the place was easy to check in staff were kind. I did not like that there was no safety lock for inside the room to put a chain over the door. There was one deadbolt but staff could open it if needed. Something to keep in mind if you also bring small children and want a safety lock.

It is an older building but remodeled. Staff were accommodating and let us store our luggage when we arrived before check in and notified us when the room was ready. I loved the food options. Mediterranean Market and Franklin Market.

Not a place I would stay at, in the summer, as the rooms have no A/C. But for a nice weekend in October, it was fairly comfortable.

The soundproof was extremely bad and I can hear the noise from the street whole night. The front desk staff was not welcoming. The area around was sketchy at night.

I booked because this property was neutral to the college! I’m so glad I did! This place is a gem. Affordable, clean and convenient for what I was in town for!

Super warm, no AC, at least 85 degrees in the room. After a sleepless night I was offered 10% off... Not enough for a completely disatissfied customer who will now never stay there again.
