The hotel was perfect! I loved the pre-game reception Friday night before the game, and the breakfast was fantastic! The hotel was clean with a spacious room. It is conveniently located with Univeraity Mall and shuttle bus service across the street. Bed was comfortable, convenient free parking. Outdoor pool looked nice but it was too cold to swim. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.
