I stayed here with my wife when we came to my son’s convocation at the university.
The rooms are student dormitory rooms. They Are fine.
My wife was disappointed that they weren’t en suite. But it is what it is I knew what they were when I booked them so.
Very convenient for convocation.

Once I found a phone number for check-in, the desk clerk was able to guide me to the front office. The rest was fairly easy-check in and getting to the room. Room and shared bathroom are clean and comfortable.

This was a very affordable accommodation for the plans that we had. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It is a basic residence room, but given we were out and about all day, it gave us exactly what we needed - clean room, good bed, shower, etc. It worked well.
