From Big D (Texas)

Absolutely loved my stay! The hotel is clean, beautifully designed, and offers free parking, which is such a plus. The interior is thoughtfully curated with a unique concept that really sets it apart. I truly enjoyed the atmosphere and would definitely stay again!

10/10 Exceptional

Clean, whimsically decorated, and close to campus. We loved the self-service beer taps and free parking.
Roberta, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Cute dorm theme but much nicer than a dorm!

Comfortable bed, very new, very clean. Great in-room amenities such as casting from your phone to the tv screen. But not as much hotel service. Grab-n-go, but no actual breakfast. People who run it are very nice.
Kate, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Solid for Price but you get what you pay for

Good price; good location near Cornell; no frills "concept hotel" but fine for a place to sleep; would consider staying again, but hotel room should have at least a chair to sit in and not have a queen bed pushed into corner of room requiring person sleeping closer to wall to clamber off end of bed. And lobby pour your own beers nice idea but apparently flawed design results in lots of foam and waiting to fill a glass.
