Stayed for a concert. My room was nice, soft bed, and the walk to and from where i was going was amazing, and a short distance. Mid City is one of my favorite places, so this'll be where i stay if i decide to stay a night.

The blind controls were simply not there, and when we called the front desk for help, they didn't know where the controls were. Walls paper thin. No water pressure in the shower.

The selling point for this property is the location. There is a lovely walking path beside the hotel with lots of nice small restaurants and shops. The hotel itself is fine- but is definitely showing some wear and tear- old carpet, water spots, lots of dings in the furniture. The beds are comfortable which is a redeeming quality for the room.
