Pros:

In a hip part of town. Beds comfortable.

Cons:

We were given a giant mostly empty room. Not comfy or cozy really in any way. Seems like the intent of the hotel is for you to drink at the bar downstairs and then pass out in your empty room. It felt like we were put in a collage apartment spare room. Bring earplugs. Even the non discount rooms are loud from the bar noise
