The staff here are fantastic and the location is perfect for walking downhill for restaurants or shopping. The room was well decorated, the absolute comfiest beds and pillows, and everything was spotless. I had a great experience and will definitely be back!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Room was spotlessly clean, staff were fine, but room was small and cramped, and there was a weird intermittent sewer-y smell in the bathroom. Also irritating that they insisted on valet parking for an extra $35 a night, plus tips, when the lot is right beside the hotel and easy to get into and out of. Soundproofing of rooms was also not great, and they had added a white noise machine to compensate

Room was less than ideal. Ground floor facing parking lot. We kept our time in room to a minimum as it was down right depressing to return to given the area and what we paid per night.

It was just right. The staff was friendly. The location was perfect for State St walking, shopping, dining but it was also quiet (not close enough to noisy nightlife to cause lost sleep). I saw a few reviews mention the rooms were small and while they weren't built for say, four to hang out, we 3 had plenty of space in a two-queen room. The bathroom also had decent space. I'd absolutely stay there again.
