Highly recommended! What a pleasant surprise — this was the most delightful stay during my 8-day trip along the East Coast. It was my first time staying at a university residence, and I was genuinely impressed. The room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. Free access to a kitchen, laundry, parking, and Wi-Fi was a huge bonus. Check-in and check-out were smooth and easy. I would absolutely stay here again!

This was our 1st time at a University Summer Hotel. We were unprepared for the quirks - the over the top door access and security for the 2 room selection; the fact that the 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom sections are at opposite ends of the building ; that 1st floor meant the ground floor ( floor we were on at reception - no need to take an unnecessary elevator ride ); there is no provision of crockery or cutlery (only plastic cups n plastic stirrers n packet crema in plastic wrappers !! ) ; no bedside lamps ( only a desklamp across the room ). However we appreciated the good firm beds w cotton sheets ! And the rooms were spotless. There was a very good size fridge. The microwave is small.The parking is adjacent to the building. Its free but not undercover. Be prepared ahead of time for the quirks.
