Porter Square Hotel

Porter Square Hotel

8/10 Good
"Ok, this is a GREAT location. The rooms were small, but nice and clean. Bathrooms small, but nice and clean. The parking was NOT easy. Yes, they have valet ($25), but that wasn’t my issue. Because the place has a great location, it’s busy on these OLD streets. Getting out of that hotel, was NOT easy. I’ve got bravado and just went for it, but it’s a challenge!"
