Great for wanting to be in the middle of downtown. Went to a concert and this was the perfect place to stay. Everything we could have wanted was in walking distance, food, drinks, shops. Hotel was nice and the people were friendly.

The decor in the rooms is very eclectic and cool. The bed was comfortable as well. Property condition is a little older than I would have thought. The parking garage costs $23/night and is incredibly outdated. Extremely narrow and I would not recommend it if you have any qualms about driving in and out of incredibly tight spaces. That seemed to be an excessive price for what it was.
