It's right next to the train tracks. There are too many bars close by so you get loud drunk people walking back to there rooms.

The hotel is great and good downtown location and we would like to point out we felt safe in the hotel but around the area is a huge homeless and drug problem. As a couple we felt ok but my wife on her own would not stay here (or in this area) and anyone with young children please be mindful they’ll see some things that may frighten them. This is something completely out of control of the hotel but unfortunately must affect them. The noise from the trains may bother some people but you have ear plugs in your room so use them. Great hotel not a great area

Perfect location for what I needed. It's funny when you walk into your room and there are complimentary earplugs on the desk by the phone you know. I was on level one. Super convenient, but could hear the elevator door rolling open and shut at all hours, the floor above creaked, but hey its a hotel not a library. The complimentary breakfast was great and just a short walk away. The folks at the breakfast spot were SO nice, courteous and helpful.

Everything was great. Unique little, motel type hotel with character. Only complaint would be no instructions on the coffee maker. Husband made a big coffee mess because he put in too much water. Just be aware.
