Top University District Hotel Reviews

Montvale Hotel

8/10 Good

"Limited on site parking with additional parking 2 blocks away from the hotel. Limited options for the free breakfast and coffee not included. No storage for clothing with only 4 hangers in the closet and no dresser with drawers to unpack your clothes. We had the premium king room, clean with comfortable bed. Location of the hotel was very walkable to the riverfront park and downtown."
