"Ok for a one-night stay when you're travelling. Just for a shower and sleep. Breakfast is good, with the basics: waffles, yogurt, fruit, cereal, juice, and coffee. The location was good, within walking distance of downtown."

"Everything about the hotel was very good but the location. It is a bit of a walk to most of downtown. The best part was Rainey Street was directly behind the hotel. I would definately stay at the hotel again as the staff was pleasant, the rooms were clean, and the overall property was in great shape. ..."
