Great location for walking to and visiting Frank Lloyd Wright properties. A few good restaurants in the area, particularly Cairo’s which is a gem. Room always had a strange odor to it. Luckily windows open which helped. Phil’s is great for drinks and munchies.

The bedroom walls are paper thin, I could hear everything from Nextdoor. Staff member who registered me was not at all friendly. A disappointing stay even though it was not cheap.
