This spotless, modern, well-located place is good – especially when you factor in the waffles served with the complimentary breakfast. The hotel is four blocks from campus and just three from the bustle of 'the Ave.' The 102 rooms come in three levels of plushness. All of them offer such basics as a coffee maker, hair dryer and wi-fi; some have balconies, sofas and Bluetooth docking stations.
There’s a hot tub, an outdoor pool, laundry facilities and a guest computer in the lobby. Attached to the hotel is the recommended Portage Bay Cafe, and there’s also a free shuttle to various sightseeing areas.
