Clean and comfortable room in a charming historic house. Very short walk to campus and numerous restaurant and bars. Room was a real value compared to local hotels.

Nothing.

The only thing was trying to get into the room I had to try over and over a few times for the first time getting in. After that it was great.

Easy parking, safe location, outdoor spaces, good breakfast and snacks, quiet, comfortable bed, clean.

It didn’t bother me, but some rooms require flights of stairs.
