Great location with a short walk to 6th street. Lively restaurant’s on the 1st and 2nd floor of the hotel. Room was quiet, housekeeping was great, property is clean and in excellent condition. Valet service only which the process was good, the guys were efficient or self parking at a 3rd party garage a short block awsy. Would stay again and recommend to friends.

Disappointed that the booking showed a pool and when we got there was told no pool. Homeless screaming and cursing outside the front door with my children there, was a little scary for them . Breakfast wasn’t very good. Hotel was clean and had some options for dining was a plus. Not a horrible place, but won’t revisit in the future .
