There’s everything to like about this hotel. A fully remodeled hotel really nice room finishes. The rooms are spotless and airy feeling. Gorgeous shower and bathroom plus super comfy beds. Everything works great. The staff is super accommodating and friendly. Location is an easy walk to the funk zone and lower State Street. A perfect location.
