• The staff was helpful, friendly, and professional.
• Getting from the parking structure to the hotel was confusing and it cost extra.

“Overall my experience with the hotel was positive, pleasant and helpful. The hotel room was very nice - the carpet could use some cleaning, however. It was very comfortable. The staff was helpful. I think the extra $ for parking should be indicated ($15 for my 2 days) to allow the traveler to make an informed decision on total price. Thank You.”

• Proximity to the university hospital.
• Unfriendly staff at check-in.

“I recommend this hotel to anyone using the university hospital for time saving and a good meal. The check-in desk clerk may not be very courteous. I rolled in after a long days drive with my father who was there for a kidney transplant and in the gloom of our weariness. I friendly smile and can I help you attitude would have went a long way.”

“Worked for us because we were going to the zoo which is less than a half mile away? Not really anything but hospitals around the hotel. No shops or places to eat. Hard to find. Hard to get to if returning from river on 71. Nice rooms and lobby. Staff was great.”

• This was not a three star hotel. I expected more.
• The room was much like any other economy hotel. The decor is old and somewhat unattractive.

“It was hard to find. I had to pay for parking. The bed was somewhat uncomfortable and the "business" desk was a joke. I won't stay here again.”

• It had very comfortable beds - I actually slept!
• Not that great for a "vacation hotel" - no pool.

“This hotel is located in more of an "inner-city" area, and was not within (safe) walking distance to any restaurants, retail, etc. There was a nice fitness center, but no pool - or complimentary breakfast. Had I known that there would be a $15 / per day charge for parking and hopefully stayed somewhere a little more convenient, with amenities that we were looking for. Definitely a "business - traveler" hotel.”

• Slow service for the shuttle to the zoo due to miscommunication.

“This was one of the very nicest hotels I have ever stayed at. They gave us a lovely room with a nice view. They accommodated a surprise bottle of champagne to be placed in our room (from my sisters) to greet us when we checked in. This was a celebration of my husband's 65th birthday. It was very nice!”

• Very close to Bogarts concert venue.
• Sketchy neighborhood on walk to Bogarts.

“The walk to Bogart's leads you through a sketchy area, but we didn't feel unsafe because we aren't paranoid individuals -- just be aware of your surroundings as the hotel clerk told us. The staff was very helpful. Cab rides are necessary to get to tm. Adams and Newport bar districts. After bar close food options at the hotel and around it are nil, but they do have a nice selection of trail mixes you can buy.”

• The bed linens were very good quality.
• Parking garage closed - long walk to park our car after midnight.

“While trying to sleep in the a.m. The housekeeping staff knocked on every door up and down the hallway and then the doors started banging every30 seconds aas the help went in an out. I got out of bed and went out into the hall to ask if there was a problem. They said sorry, but then the banging of doors continued as if they didn¿t realize someone could still be sleeping. I brought this to the attention of the front desk and they offered to buy us lunch. Declined.”

• Beds so comfortable even my son was ready to sleep.
• Parking was an expensive extra charge, lot was big and not well marked.

“As a business traveler, I thought this was a top notch hotel. Rooms were clean & well appointed with beds so comfortable it felt as if you were staying at a posh spa. As a traveler with a child, I might think twice. Parking was very inconvenient and costly. No directions verbally or printed, left us walking around late at night in the garage taking elevators that did not connect to hotel. Also, no pool, spa, children's TV channels or mini fridge.”

“Nice, clean hotel in a hard-to-find area. The street that it's on dead-ends into a hospital and then picks up again on the other side keeping the same street name. City's fault, not hotel's. Very clean and really the only hotel on the UC campus. Not a great neighborhood beyond the campus, though. Money was stolen out of my truck at a gas station while I was pumping my gas.”
