We have stayed here previously and we're very disappointed. The parking garage was almost completely full and VERY tight to maneuver in. The hotel itself is starting to look run down inside. It has always had a retro vibe which was cool but now everything is also starting to show neglect. We also had an issue with a lot of street noise. We were on the 4th floor and we could hear people outside on the street arguing and had to deal with very loud car and motorcycle noise until about 2 in the morning. Very hard to sleep with all that going on. We will not be returning. Used to be great, not so anymore.

Bedding had stains on it and we asked that it be changed but it never was. We drive a large SUV and were unable to park in the parking garage. We had to walk a few blocks over to do so. Felt as if we were a burden rather than a patron

Great for wanting to be in the middle of downtown. Went to a concert and this was the perfect place to stay. Everything we could have wanted was in walking distance, food, drinks, shops. Hotel was nice and the people were friendly.
