The hotel was great. The only negative is they were unable to provide the room type we had booked. To make amends they did reduce the rate and provide an on property credit. We would have rather had two queens rather than having our daughter sleep on a pull out couch but everything else was great.

It was very close to most places we wanted to visit. We like the convenience of filtered water and bags of ice on each floor. The only real issue was the amount of noise you could hear from outside even on the 4th floor. Maybe because of the age of the building.
