Solid price and great overall stay. Though couldn't use the microwave.
Was there during the storm and couldn't leave during the Snow Emergency, even the slightest discount would have been appreciated since it was literally illegal to leave.

Had a great accessible room. Was easy for me to manage and move. Location. Of room by elevators. Hotel close to my activities. They allowed me to have a late checkout.
The mattresses seemed a bit old. The TV was smaller for the size of room i was in.

The air conditioning you could not turn down below 68 and for the price of $184 a night. You should be able to adjust air condition on what you want.

The staff was amazing. Check-in gave us a lovely, clean room on the top floor with the river view. Beds comfy and clean. Our daughter got sick in the middle of the night and the man on duty came straight up with fresh linens for us. Shower had amazing pressure and heat, even on the top floor. Breakfast was fully stocked and hot. Wonderfully located by the college without being too busy to get in and out. Plenty of food options nearby for dinners. Lots of parking. Would 100% stay again.
Only one of two elevators were working, so wait time and capacity fullness in the morning was truly the only issue.
