Pros +
- The location. Steps away from lots of restaurants, sights, and bus stops. Easy to get anywhere in the city.
- Great location. We did walk into a shooting up the street tho. Literally, a police officer was run over and the guy was shot at Trader Joe's a few blocks up.
- All of the employees were pleasant, friendly and very accommodating.
Cons -
- Everything was an additional cost. Typical for a hotel located downtown in a big city, but included breakfast would have been a nice perk.
- No drawers in the hotel and breakfast was $35 each!
- There was rust on the luggage rack in the room and the carpet was a little frayed/worn.
