My stay at the hotel was quite delightful. The rooms were typically small but very clean, well maintained, nicely decorated, and uplifting. However, it was a bit awkward that the room had no door. The service was fantastic, with very friendly and accommodating staff. The location was just perfect, right on State Street near many restaurants, bars, and stores. The dining experience was just what I needed to get me going, although it could be a little better. Overall, a great value for the money.
