the hotel is super central near the pike market. Ask for a room in the middle not towards the street. These rooms are really noisy due to the street noises. We changed the room and everything was fine. We liked the old and elegant style of the hotel. It also has a nice bar and lounge area. Beware of people taking ***** outside on the streets everywhere in Downtown. We didn't go out after sunset. (Unfortunately it seems thats normal now in large cities of the US) No blame for the hotel and staff. They were really nice there.
