It was LOUD. Not sure if it was because it's summer and people outside, but the hotel is surrounded by restaurants and a music venue. Plus the alley way is next to hotel and could hear the garbage trucks early morning. Didn't sleep at all! Parking is terrible. Had to TRY to find parking along designated areas with a permit. Parked about five blocks away. The positive is it's an excellent location, walkable to everything.
