This property was conveniently located to the downtown area and within walking distance of many things. The breakfast was a good option for our stay and the breakfast staff was great. There were some people around the property that made it feel slightly less safe but nothing major.

Nice hotel, the location was close to dining and music, but there were a lot of homeless also sleeping in the streets and it felt unsafe. Also it said parking was $35, but with tax and fees it was $40 so that should be announced.
