Everything about this place worked well; free parking, nearby campus and all the restaurants. The only down side was the strong smell of smoke in our room
Verified review

6/10 Good

It was a nice clean place. Room was great. Would’ve been an even better place to stay if they offered cheaper or free parking & free breakfast, esp for what we paid for 2 nights. We stay in the area at least 2-4 times a month. But we’ll keep checking out other hotels that do offer cheaper/free parking & free breakfast

Staff was excellent- very friendly. I liked that they offer access to the KSU rec center because their pool is closed. Free water and coffee is always a plus! The gym is tiny, but there are a few options. Very clean- would highly recommend
