Overall a pretty good experience but the only thing was out TV did not work at all and would only show one channel. It would not even let me login to Netflix. When speaking to front desk she stated that the TV issue was throughout all the rooms and that they were getting tech support but not until following day. Also we were on second floor and tenants above us were so loud with stomping.

Hot and cold breakfast items were included, not a huge selection but it was nice enough and convenient. Staff was courteous and friendly. Room was clean but had strange musty odor. Opened windows and a/c fan to help aerate. Bath products were good but they do not have body lotion.

Excellent proximity to other locations is great. Very clean, excellent staff. Slight updates in room 218 needed, phone not working, TV not working, new hair dryer needed, curtains need to be adjusted to block out sun. But we enjoyed our stay. Thank you

The rooms were clean, the staff was extremely nice. We could hear a little noise in the hallways, but no outside noise. We did see a couple homeless people in the area, but for most part, the area is nice and felt safe. Very close to beach and State street.

We weren’t looking for much beyond a place to sleep, but the mattresses were extremely soft and the pillows were very low grade.
