10/10 Excellent

"The staff is what made the state great. The room was adequate. It did not have a desk. It had no place to put your items with the exception of a couple of shelves in the closet and I discovered that later. The location is good once you get outside your rated market Street so you can go to restaurants and store. I would stay there again."
