Stayed here because of a show at the Lyric and didn't want to drive home that night. Hotel Indigo is right by the Basilica -- we could see it from our room. Checkin was easy, everyone was very friendly. We ate a late dinner at their restaurant after the show -- it was wonderful. Our room was spacious, very clean, lots of pillows. it was very quiet. We'll be back!
