Barnes & Noble is a favorite location for many, known for its big and excellent selection of books, though some note the selection seems smaller every year. The store itself is always clean and in beautiful condition. Knowledgeable, pleasant, friendly, and professional staff provide great service, can help with special discounts, and easily order items not in stock. The atmosphere inside is pretty nice. The attached cafe is popular for reading and studying, but its floors and tables have been reported as dirty and gross, needing cleaning and new furniture. The bathroom is also noted as outdated and never clean. Some advise not visiting too late due to the atmosphere outside.
