"The hotel was nice and clean. Be aware that if you bring a pet, you can't leave it in your room if you go out.2019-06-17 "
"Central downtown location. The hotel was clean, and the front desk clerks were helpful.2017-05-30 "
"Although the hotel was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the staff was friendly, I had 3 frustrations. The hotel was on the north end of State Street, and I had to walk alone 2 blocks in the dark to get to 2 restaurants; I'd thought it was closer to the busy part of State Street. No movie channels available on the TV, and I had to pay for parking.2015-11-01 "
"Nice hotel in a good location. Bring your bathing suit.2015-10-09 "
