"Love that this was conveniently located on campus but we were disappointed that a lot of the campus was closed down. It was during a holiday. You could actually cook and keep groceries in the room we had but we were only there a short time, I was super disappointed the gift shop was closed. But we definitely plan on coming back. It was convenient though so I could meet some friends and family I hadn’t seen in while it’s not that far from the shops bars like chimes where we got to have a private signing by author Si Pham America Odyssey."
