8/10 Good
"Hotel room was a bit dated and needed to be refreshed, room showed evident wear and however it was apparent it needs updating the room was clean, cool and comfortable. We attended a concert at Wooly's and the hotel is in walking distance. We did not feel concerned for safety in the area and it was nice to be able to walk in peace. The appetizers and drinks were welcome but the bartender has a heavy pour and were too atrong. Breakfast was nice however I could have passed as a diabetic not too many choices. We intend to stay here again!!"
