The room was nice and neat and the staff was great.
Had a fantastic stay. Walking distance to the train and not too far from State Street. Excellent staff. Katy, Jake and Oswaldo all contributed to a great experience. Definitely will be back!
This is my second time staying here. Nice room with view. Very close to downtown SB, maybe a 5 minute drive. The waffles and coffee in the morning were fantastic.
