8/10 Good
"First off, the staff was great... helpful, friendly and attentive. Was in town for a meeting at the USAF museum so this property allowed easy access to it (10 min drive). But this I believe is a new hotel in a very old building. If you're looking for quiet, know that street noise can be a problem as well as the old elevator system that seems to contribute to the non-stop thumping/banging heard most hours. While the restaurant is decent (bar furniture needs a re-think/upgrade) there's not much else w/in a 3-4 block radius. It's about a 20-30min walk east or south to Oregon (Salar or Jays worth the walk) to find any other decent dining."
