We loved our stay here. Rooms are dated, but clean. Breakfast was wonderful and location is great - it is just a little sketchy walking down to 6th street. Not the hotel's fault

Quick 1night stay before next day airplane flight

Feel that the description of the hotel and property should say PAY parking OPTIONAL in basement garage. My daughter thought that pay parking was a little misleading and she read it as being paid parking included. The front desk was very helpful and the room was very clean and big. Close to 6th Street bars and some close restaurants. I question the Mexican restaurant close by though. Basement is somewhat creepy

The hotel was good and clean, good options for breakfast, the times are incorrect based on the email I received vs actual times by hotel staff. I did not read the part about parking fees on property until I got there but be ready if you’re driving, fee was about 40 dollars after taxes, I feel it should be discounted since is property but I cost me full price. There is a lot of places to drink at if you like that, a lot of homeless too but did not bother anyone while walking.
