Surprising stay for price.

Love this place. Right on State Street. Close to everything. I stayed one night with 3 teens. Reserved a jack and Jill room for 127$. The rooms were big. Large bathroom. Microwave and fridge. Continental breakfast included. Not fancy but roomy, comfy beds. And, pretty quiet.

The biggest complaint I have for the this property is that it is motel level of service for a premium price. The rooms and amenities are old and shabby. The beds are not queens, they are doubles. There is a lot of noise outside and above if you are downstairs. There are some towels at their postage stamp pool, but they are like large hand towels. They have breakfast, but watery juice and boxes of cereal in a super crowded little room are not impressive. There’s shampoo, but no conditioner. Our room was never cleaned during our 2 day stay. Like I said, if it was a normal price for a motel, I wouldn’t be as annoyed, but for $330 a night, you would think there would be more bang for your buck.
