8.6/10 Excellent! (490 reviews)
The property is in the middle of a super fun area filled with great bars and restaurants. It seemed like many locals loved the area and several bars had live music! The parking was extremely limited and we had to park on the street the last night but it was only a short walk to the hotel and was free, so not terribly inconvenient. Highly recommend!
