Meh
The stay was decent overall. The room was clean, but the hotel could improve by offering more amenities like a complimentary coffee bar or free bottled water. Additionally, I found the beds to be a bit uncomfortable.

The building and area felt a little older and maybe a little run down, but everything was well cared for and clean in our room. The staff member who checked us in was very kind and helped us with information about how to get to our activities while we were there.

Outdated hotel. It needs a lot of work.
Hotel needs to do some serious renovations and upgrades. Shower only has hot water and when trying to get it cooler goes to cold. No in between. The pipes were loud. No phone outlets. Only 2 accessible outlets for plugs only. Shampoo/conditioner was low. Told front desk but they never came to refill them. Restaurant has poor service and food menu is not appealing. Tables needed to be clean. Will not go there again.

I did have a wonderful interaction with the staff at this hotel. The room itself had kind of a funky smell, but it was tolerable. The air conditioner was a bit loud and the front cover tended to rattle a bit, which keeps me up at night. The blackout curtain is awesome, and it’s a good location if you’re looking to stay towards the south of campus. The only drawback was housekeeping, was knocking on my door the next morning an hour and a half before checkout and aside from the loud and the weird smell. Everything else was perfect.

The front desk staff is very helpful and kind. Room is nice. Liked Mailin + Goetz products very much. Second day of my stay the cleaning was nos made entirely (missing water, coffee service refills and my bed was not made only superficially). I loved the blanket flag

The hotel needs a once over. We love Graduate Hotels in general but this one was tired, AC was mediocre and the elevator broke down. It is right next to the dorm we were moving our freshman into and was super handy that way. Staff was lovely as well but there are better options until the give this one a once over.
