The staff was very friendly and Bluebird has done a great job with the renovation compared to what it was before. The only issue I had was the cavernous noise from people not using their inside voice and not understanding this is a small hotel and you should be quiet.

the downtowner is a hip trendy hotel the look from outside is a bit scary. but on inside it is very nice 2 issues 1) there’s no live tv, just some REALLY BAD streaming service 2) the inside of “the old motel” where the pool was, has been filled in and turned into a lounge area where people hang out , of which you can hear everything in your room including the club, dance music the guests were playing because of those reasons I would not stay here again
