Nice hotel, cleaning staff not so much

Nice hotel, but cleaning staff was not. Walked in on us while showering at 900am (and did not knock nor attempt to see if anyone was inside). Also, when walking hallways none of the cleaning staff was polite or courteous when speaking good morning or any other gesture.

Myself and my friend whom is in a wheelchair stayed in a handicap accessible room. He requires a Hoyer Lift to get in and out of his chair. The lift was hard to get under the bed. I think the beds need to have higher clearance under the bed

I love the hotel. My only recommendation is you should include the breakfast buffet. Most of the hotels by the university include the breakfast buffet. Overall I love the hotel.
