Great location
Pros:

The location is great for downtown exploring new restaurants and stores and stuff. The staff was super friendly that checked us in and out and when there was an issue with our bathroom sink they made sure to fix it timely.

Cons:

I don't like the fact when I booked it through booking.com and said it was going to be $907 but when I got to the hotel and checked in it was about $1,000 for two rooms for two nights. Also, the room that my brother stayed in his fridge didn't work in his bathroom towel hanger was hanging out of the wall.
