Great location within walking distance from our venue. Easy access to downtown restaurants. Parking is off site about 2 blocks. $10 for 3 nights. Friday nights during the summer they block the street the hotel is located on which made parking and unloading a bit harder but the music was good, I could not hear it from my room, and it was done by 10pm
