10/10 Excellent
"Staff were outstanding! Location was perfect, not downtown, university neighborhood with absolutely no issues. Taxis via CURB were phenomenal. Bathroom was excellent but cramped. Restaurant needs assistance but DoorDash delivers or take a cab to one of many restaurants. Definitely would stay again."
