Pros +

  • I have stayed here previously and enjoyed the room and location. It's on upper State Street so accessible to many attractions.
  • Renovation style was new, comfy bed, large bathroom, value for the price, pleasant staff. Check in was super easy.
  • Comfy beds, quality sheets, shampoo/conditioner/soap, minifridge, and strong A/C.

Cons -

  • This time I was given an old room meaning the bath/shower grout looked dirty, as well as the tub. The blinds were broken and people walking by could see in. There is no coffee pot or source of hot water. It was very disappointing - sub par.
  • I was disappointed there was no iron. But maybe no iron is standard for this level of motel. I don't know. But I was still very pleased.
  • Furniture was beat-up and old. The bathroom is not well ventilated making it difficult to use the mirror after a shower (steamed up). The room had a motel vibe.
