Days Hotel by Wyndham University Ave SE
"The staff were really friendly. My room was nice and clean with the towels having this refreshing scent. I wasn’t crazy about the shower handle. The breakfast included was so so. I was hoping for a waffle maker. I like that the hotel includes free parking. Overall 4 stars."
