Excellent, but basic

Very similar to Motel 6. You're not getting anything fancy, but it was clean, had a great breakfast, and an excellent location close to everything. Other reviews are correct, there are bars/nightclubs very close, which does lead to some noise, but it's not unmanageable by any means. If you can, try to get a room on the east side of the building, which faces away from downtown, and you won't get any noise.

Tucanos, just up the street. $21 ($14 for lunch) Brazilian steakhouse. Can't beat it.
