It was just right. The staff was friendly. The location was perfect for State St walking, shopping, dining but it was also quiet (not close enough to noisy nightlife to cause lost sleep). I saw a few reviews mention the rooms were small and while they weren't built for say, four to hang out, we 3 had plenty of space in a two-queen room. The bathroom also had decent space. I'd absolutely stay there again.
