8/10 Good
"It was a clean and "very cool" kinda hotel. Loved the breakfast and the 1st floor bar. The room was small-ish and when I asked for a "quiet" room I was given a King room near the alley. It wasn't very quiet. In the AM, the local bar was stacking kegs. Same thing in the evening hours. Not fantastic. Also the doors are extremely heavy and when they close it's a loud bang. I would probably look elsewhere next time."
