We rented four rooms. We we're there for a wedding. The staff was nice enough to allow us to check in at 12pm. This gave us time to get ready for our big day! Everyone was very nice!

Decently clean but very dated. Small rooms with bleached and stained carpets. Comfortable mattresses, working tv, not much else. Breakfast was terrible, basically non-existent and there were ants in the juice. Staff were ambivalent. Location is about the one good thing about this place- lots of grocery stores and a good selection of restaurants nearby, right on State Street. But overall, will not stay again.
