Overall if you can get a decent price and want to have a good time eating, drinking and shopping this place is worth it. If you want something more spacious where you can just lounge in your room all day I'd say look elsewhere.

I booked thru hotwire for 85$/night and had a great time staying here. The hotel isn't anything spectacular, but it's in a great area. You can walk right out your door in any direction and find a ton of places to eat drink and shop. The rooms are definitely small and the elevator is slow and annoying, but the place is clean and the service is good. I had friends stay at nearby hotels and the rooms were just as small by the way.

Not a place for a family to stay (it can get very loud at night when the bars close), but it's great for someone in their 20s or 30s vacationing with friends. They do have a pretty cool rooftop patio. Workout room is just a treadmill and elliptical and they could upgrade their towels. The bed was actually very comfortable and the restaurant attached to the hotel (Brian's 24 has good food).
