“This hotel stands out for its exceptionally helpful staff, who go above and beyond-particularly notable is the personalized care from guest service representatives; the recent renovations may present some noise, yet the location remains convenient, especially for university-related visits. I noted the spacious banquet facilities, ideal for large events, and the availability of accessible rooms, making it a practical choice in University City. In my opinion, the focus on service and event-readiness makes it recommendable.”
