These rooms were waaaaay smaller than anticipated. We were only there for 1 night but I would not have been able to have an extended stay there. The bathroom was a toilet and then shower/sink combo and there was no room to lay my suitcase down to open it.

A little gem.

Everything is brand new and shining. The room is small but functional. The bathroom is sizable. Very comfy queen bed. Big tv. Very quiet (I asked for a room on the back side). The lobby decor is kind of cool. The location is excellent, across the street from the T stop.
