Building located in heart of downtown. You can take metro from airport and short walk. The front desk is on 4th floor, you hit 'F' button to check-in. There is no '4' on the elevator buttons. Shopping and food within walking distance. Good place for price.

Great location. Good value for the price.

Location was right in the heart of a unique part of downtown. Bars, shopping, great reastaraunts all right around the hotel. Was ok with me but could be loud at night as a dance club is nearby.
