The hotel is historic, and recently renovated, so it is in excellent shape. It is nice to stay in a smaller hotel where you have personal attention and the staff recognizes you. The staff is very cordial. The neighborhood is well kept. One drawback is the lack of nearby dining options, but that will be solved in a few weeks (I think) when the hotel will open a restaurant/music venue. Public transportation is thin here, but I used uber to get to the convention center for meetings (about 10 min), and this turned out to be fine. Even after adding this cost, it was far less expensive to stay here than near the Convention Center, and it felt much friendlier.
