“This property positions itself as a boutique option near the University, but reports of cleanliness issues and service inconsistencies give me pause. While the rooftop bar and updated restaurant are appealing, potential noise concerns and shared pool access with a neighboring hotel temper my enthusiasm. Ultimately, I would suggest travelers carefully weigh these factors against the convenient location.”
