8.4 out of 10, Very Good, 51 reviews
"The hotel was very cool from the street with a vintage appeal. Our room was pretty outdated, beds weren’t the greatest (but not the worst either), the shower was fairly small, cheap & very basic towels (some stained)......but the tv was newer and had a million channels. The highlight of our stay was the man who greeted us at check-in. He was SUPER friendly and very energetic, so nice that I hate to leave bad remarks about the lodging itself. We wouldn’t go out of our way to stay here again."
