Football weekend. Excellent downtown location with numerous sports bars, and restaurants, including steakhouses, and other culinary choices within easy walking distance. Nice lobby bar, Starbucks on site, and big, comfortable seating area for large party gatherings. The area is also very well lit in the evening.
