Perfect Stay.
Excellent stay with the room, the cleanliness, and, the proximity to the University. We were accommodated with the addition of another guest and the cot provided. The dining room staff were excellent as was the ability to order breakfast.

The front desk staff was warm and so welcoming. The breakfast was truly enjoyable and the staff were equally warm and friendly. We stayed during a cool period and though the room was cold, after speaking to the front desk we were able to get a space heater which ensures that we were able to sleep comfortably.

6/10 Good

While the building has its charm and the staff at the hotel were welcoming, I found the price of $270 per night to be a bit steep for what was offered. The room felt damp, with sheets that were slightly wet and a noticeable old smell. Additionally, the bathroom had some body hair in the corners, which suggested that cleaning might not have been as thorough as expected. The breakfast was quite basic and of low quality; I would have appreciated a few more options, such as cheese—even just cream cheese—and some healthier choices like tomatoes or cucumbers. Despite booking in advance based on positive reviews, I feel that the overall experience didn't quite justify the cost.

The breakfast and staff in the dining area were great. The Coach House Pub is only open for special events. We were in room 314. It over looks the roof. The exhaust fan runs continually. The main concern was a constant noise from the roof like a lawn mower running. 24/7. Yuk! We did tell the front desk with no result
