A nice little hotel with a quirky vibe. Room was small but bed was very comfy. Updating little things like towel racks will go a long way. Loved that it was very walkable to The Greek where we watched a concert. Eric at the front desk was fabulous. Enjoyed our stay!

Friendly staff, check in was straightforward and they let my group store our extra bags with them til our check in time. Only downside is the area it is in was a bit dirty and there were homeless people around (I went to the Taco Bell across the street and a homeless man threw a cup of iced water at a girl) So just have caution while walking around the area
