Enjoyed It!
Pros:

Stayed here for just one night. Everything was just fine during our stay. Had dinner and a few drinks at the hotel bar. Then, met a relative at a bar just a couple blocks down the street. Walked around, and looked at murals. Felt safe the entire time while out and about. Parking was free, and our rate included a breakfast, which was decent.

Our room had two beds, which were comfortable. Nice sized TV, and a small chair to relax in. Bathrooms kinda tight, otherwise, everything is just fine.

We did not use, but, they had an indoor pool. Looked pretty nice.
