Nice but be aware of your surroundings.
The Clarke Hotel is conveniently situated in the downtown with plenty of night spots and restaurants in walking distance. Parking is a parking structure and inconvenient with being 3 blocks away if you have a late check-in. The structure is somewhat intimidating with lots of graffiti painted on tbe walls and stairwells, and is also unattended with no sign of security.

There was no actual person at the hotel. I was sent a code via email to unlock hotel doors. I did not know about this email so i had to call the number posted on the door for help. No one actually in the building during my stay, including checkbout.

Large comfortable room with good service.
Good large room. Love the separate bathtub and good shower. Especially appreciate the service we got as we were late check ins and we had good instructions on how to enter. It was all there as described. Only once saw an individual at the front desk. Almost a self-serve place. Only complaint was noise - both from the street and from the restaurant with the loud music. And the non-existent parking. Probably won't stay there again because of those two things.
