Great hotel to be closer to the attractions but if you are looking for a quiet place I do not recommend it. You hear loud music and people shouting drunk and talking all night. Restaurants are overcrowded on a weekend you will expect to wait an hour for service. Stores are very close to walk and do shopping. Friendly front desk staff and the guy at the parking very helpful.

We loved the location of this hotel! It was incredibly convenient. The parking price is a little steep. I will warn, we stayed on the backside of the hotel on a Saturday night so the bars behind the hotel were going until like 2AM. They do provide complimentary earplugs though!
