Surprising stay for price.

Love this place. Right on State Street. Close to everything. I stayed one night with 3 teens. Reserved a jack and Jill room for 127$. The rooms were big. Large bathroom. Microwave and fridge. Continental breakfast included. Not fancy but roomy, comfy beds. And, pretty quiet.
