Great location and an excellent on site restaurant. Knocked it down one star because the bathroom door handle was broken and the room was quite small, but otherwise a great stay.

The hospital and attention was outstanding.Great location down State Street But the room we selected was a little bit too small we had to squeeze around the king size bed and for the garden view you get the picture A little over priced for the holidays for the size of room

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Arrived and there was no working AC in the room. No fridge in the room. Staff was friendly though and provides a fan. The next morning there was no hot water in several of the rooms. The floors are all hard in the hallway and the rooms so sound bounces around easily and a door closing easily wakes you up in the middle of the night. The location is good except for a train intersection less than 50ft from the building so if you want to sleep in good luck. I will reiterate that the staff is very friendly and accommodating. There’s some nice perks in the lobby but I don’t think it balances the experience in the rooms.

Pros: staff and facilities, including bed were excellent. Agree with other reviewers regarding the shower/water situation; other than that rooms are small though neat and clean. Cons: Room next to us had a dog that was barking at night for over an hour; finally complained to the front desk and it got taken care of. Staff was very responsive in helping to take care of it, which was a plus. We have stayed at other pet friendly hotels and this had not been an issue. Just warning if one is sensitive to noise, you may want to bring good ear plugs.
