Clean, conveniently located, and safe. I was in town for a show at the 40 Watt Club and I cannot recommend this hotel enough if you are looking for something close to the city and local entertainment. The show venue was about a five-minute walk from the hotel, and several fantastic restaurants and bars just beyond. Highly recommend!
