Sentimental location for me, having eaten and studied here more than 15 years ago and still able to come in for pancakes and remember those days long ago. I don't care about those who park here and go to the dorms and what not, even for a short period of time. This is for IHOP customers only, and I'm one pissed off customer if I have to deal with parking issues just to eat. So if you're inconvenienced to go across the street to your dorm then I don't care. I'm glad you got towed. I'm laughing right now, enjoying a drink and laughing at you and your towing bill and frustration.
This IHOP is as good as any other and they offer discounts to students and faculty on weekdays. Not a bad deal.
