"We booked this hotel due to the proximity to my son’s university, and based on reviews. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. The valet guys all super helpful as well. We arrived at 11pm and the gentleman was quick to help us move the boxes from the bed of the truck into the inside of the truck. We had a lot of boxes for my son’s dorm. We received a free bottle of wine plus two drink tickets. The only down side was that the restaurant closed early. But it’s ok… I loved the lobby area, the library area was super relaxing as well."
