The staff are amazing. Friendly and helpful. It’s convenient to campus but a little off the path, which has pros and cons. In the center of downtown, which is great. It was just ridiculously expensive (I know it’s a football weekend, what do I expect) but still, the prices that all of the downtown hotels charge on these weekends is absurd.
