I booked a queen room, but our plans changed and we needed different dates. The hotel was fine with this but Kayak would not change the dates of the reservation.

The staff was as accommodating as they were able but such a disappointment to have to stay in a smaller room for extra money.

Pros (+) Staff was efficient and accommodated my request for a quiet room. Room was comfortable, though initially overheated. Location excellent: close to Pearl St, university, and offices.
Cons (-) Very poor quality breakfast. Parking lot was partially covered in ice (dangerously so) because of drainage problem.
