Beautiful hotel in a great Downtown location near many shops and restaurants. We purchased tickets to a concert at the Lobero Theatre and had a 10 minute walk down State Street to arrive at our destination. Love this nostalgic hotel with comfortable beds and very nice staff. We would definitely stay there again.

Our room was very clean and the staff were amazing. The only concern was that this hotel is located on a popular street and next to a night club. Although our room was on the quiet side, we still could hear the music on Thursday night.
