If you get a room facing 6th street area/ pub crawl area, be aware that you may not sleep until 2am due to loud music. If the hotel is sold out, you’re out of luck like in my case

Communication is annoying given that you can’t talk to a real person. Getting in was a bit challenging. Some rugs on the floor could be nice rather than cracked cement.Bed was very comfortable , location was great.
