Paying nearly $500 / night for a closet-sized room, which hotel doesn’t have photos online, felt misrepresented. PROS: great location, clean & modern vibe, friendly staff. CONS: absolutely tiniest rooms on first floor, felt like a closet (bathroom / shower / sitting “area” / sink / bed all within 10ft room). First floor room right off public State Street bar, can hear loud party noise throughout the night. limited to no staff, single person (very friendly and accommodating) manning a concierge booth outside the coffee shop attached to first floor. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7c5488c3-8282-4192-bb5b-531428822d08-1761531229301.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Chris Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Randy Apr 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very cool hotel right on State St. great location and ambience. ##### Randy Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claudia E Jan 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Excellent location and great environment.
