Worst stay of my life. While the hotel and rooms were nice the building is old so all the sounds from other rooms are heard. Was not able to sleep. Spoke to the front desk at 3am for possible help to another room but was not given any luck other than given some ear plugs and a note for a discount with the manager. Next day, manager said because it was through Expedia the hotel could not offer a discount. Expedia was able to offer a $25 expedia credit. But simply not enough for what I went through. A lot of money for ear plugs and no sleep. DO NOT STAY at this hotel. You will regret it!

Very easy to walk to everything but the hotel inside was very outdated and old looking inside. Our room was fun but the tv’s sound did not work and here was a stand alone fan in the room that helped with air circulation. Couldn’t open the window for natural light without seeing directly to the sidewalk Only plus is that it was in the center of everywhere you want to walk
