Good and reasonable
The staff is great, the hotel is nice and the bed was super comfy. My room had a view of a ladder and roof and there was a lot of “industrial” noise all night so I wore earbuds.
Its right in the heart of things and very walkable.

Great get away!
We went for the July 4 holiday. Very fun. Hotel is a short walk to anywhere! It’s very quiet. Bed was comfy… though I reserved a queen bed and our room had a double bed. That was the only downside.

It was a great stay overall. Friendly and helpful staff. But you guys really need to consider installing an elevator, it’s very inconvenient going up and down with heavy luggage.
