Room very clean , front desk manager was so accommodating very helpful of what to do in town where to eat Ect. Only 1 thing is that a fluffy pillow or maybe 2 pillows would have been great but I also didn’t ask for an extra pillow. Location to State Street shops and restaurants was excellent.

Spacious room and comfy bed.

Clean, comfortable and spacious room. Room was very nice and bed was super comfortable. Not a ton near by, but there are a couple convenient stores and a restaurant very close. I stayed here for a concert at the bowl and wasn’t a bad walk, not short but not long either, took 45 minutes at an easy pace. Will probably stay here next time I go to the bowl.
