Do not stay here unless you want noise and a dingy room
Pros:

What a terrible hotel. The noise from downtown and within the hotel is horrible. Their standard room is small and disgusting. It was impossible finding valet parking. We will NEVER stay here again. PS-The front desk guy quite rude and not helpful at all

This hotel was Fun and cute,and I will definitely return to the city again but at a hotel that’s *actually* soundproof.
Pros:

I loved the location. Very close to anything you’d want to do, unless you’re going to Andersonville, but even then, only a 20 minute uber.

Cons:

The rooms are listed as “soundproof” and the are not. There’s a huge gap under the door that feels like a safety hazard. You could hear the neighbors pretty easily.
