My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were very small but surprisingly clean and comfortable, featuring contemporary furniture and design. However, the non-working bathroom exhaust fan and HVAC unit that didn't function properly left a musty and dirty impression. The lack of a microwave or fridge was a downside, but the value for money was decent.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were well-decorated and cozy, but I encountered issues with the doors not locking and odd lighting fixtures. The service was a bit of a letdown due to missing bath towels and a lack of access to the pool area. The location was convenient for my needs, particularly being close to the Carle Foundation Hospital, but the dining options were limited. Overall, it had its positives and negatives.

Staying at this hotel felt just like being at home, with neat rooms despite the older exterior. The fold-up bed was a nice touch, and the fitness center had a variety of equipment for a good workout. However, the uneducated and rude staff tainted the experience, showing little care for the guests and relying heavily on revenue from football weekends.
