I liked the charm of an older hotel. The room was mostly clean, although there were several cobwebs on the high ceiling. The quick river-walk access was great. Mall style shopping was nearby. I had hoped to be surrounded by small boutique stores but the area had more of a run-down 50's vibe that hadn't kept up with the pace. I DID NOT like the policy stating no outside guests were allowed inside the hotel. It was on a flyer that was posted inside the elevator. I guess it's a good thing I saw it. I don't remember seeing that policy on the hotel website nor on Expedia. I wanted a friend to come over for a short visit but had to go elsewhere. I felt a little uncomfortable leaving my car in an unsecure parking area due to some vagrants on the street, but everything turned out ok. Overall, I'd give the location a grade of C. Staff was very friendly. The hotel had character. The neighborhood a bit of a turn off, but it was a great location for a short drive to other areas.
