Great find for SB on upper State Street

Stayed at this hotel many times. Excellent location, clean, breakfast provided. The only negative this time around was intermitted/slow internet connection. Not sure why, it was impossible to have a good signal which made it inconvenient. Last year we stayed here and the connect was perfectly fine. Thanks

The entrance from State Street is tricky as it is narrow, and the sidewalk can be busy. The bumps to slow down the cars on the way to the entrance and in the parking lot are too high and rattle the cars.
