The location is amazing. The downtown area is restored and has great restaurants, cafes and boutiques. Hotel was nice, unfortunately we missed the breakfast, which is supposed to be great… We had to find parking, because of the location. But a garage was not that far away.

Would have rated hotel a 5 except no sleep on Fri and Sat night until after 2am due to noise of bar!!!!! Great location to restaurants walking less then 1 block: Harry's, Dragonfly, OAK, BBQ chicken, Pizza place, Starbucks, ice cream shop. No parking but we knew this so ubbered everywhere. Nice pool, great staff, friendly and quick to respond to needs. So my advice is dont stay here on the weekend unless you stay up partying until 2am and ubber, dont rent a car. Continental breakfast was the best ive ever had.
