Good location in town. They randomly increased the price from what I booked online at the front desk.
No breakfast included. I bought breakfast and that brioche bun was not fresh. The eggs were also not from a chicken! It wasn’t too expensive so can’t complain too hard.
I thought it was a bit gimmicky, the decor. Maybe that’s just what a college town hotel is supposed to be?

Absolutely horrible design with a playground in the middle of all rooms from floor 3 to 5. It is like a McDonalds playground. Horrible. All day and night.
