This place was nicer than I imagined. It was clean, secure, and had a nice pub beside. The night I happened to mosey on in, there was a chess club going on at the pub. Met some interesting folk there before being cut off from the bar-my only complaint is that the young bar manager made me start drinking water after having what she thought was too much beer. Oh well, just trying to avoid a lawsuit I presume. Anyways, I was able to walk everywhere from this hotel, and parked my vehicle in a near by city lot. My car was fine the whole time in that lot. There are some homeless types around, but I enjoy that and was glad to be in a cultural neighbourhood-so to speak. I will be returning to this hotel in the future when I need a great, cheap place to stay in the city. Thanks!
