Comfort Suites University - Research Park
Check-in was easy, room was clean. Lobby had a weird smell. One elevator was broken causing delays; often times you have to wait for it to go all the way up or down to use. Breakfast was dry. The eggs and sausage sat too long. They could make smaller batches and replenish more often.
