This hotel is big and set in the middle of a busy block. The noise was a bit bothersome at night but I used a sound machine so I was on. They are doing a lot of remodeling and it does look very nice. Our room was brand new with all new furniture on the balcony and it’s tastefully done. We did have to pay $20 to check in early at 1pm, even though it seemed there were many rooms available and no one was there at all, I was still thankful to be able to get in the room. I felt for the price they could’ve included at least a continental breakfast. They do have a small store in the lobby, but it’s quite expensive. This might be good for a big group because the pool area is large and nice, and there are lots of loungy places to gather and enjoy company.. If you’re having a big party this would be great. You could be loud and it would fit right in with the neighborhood.
