Cozy and convenient location
This was a great place to stay near the university. There's a ton of shops up the street that you could walk to or take the little train to and they were popping on the weekend. Staff was also very chill. Loved it, would stay again!

Very convenient spot. A little noisy but we ran the air all night and it covered it well.
Not a fancy place but parking included and walking distance to lots of places.
