“Rooms here are basic and compact, but come at a reasonable price, and I think the location places you well for exploring downtown. The real draw, though, is the live jazz and blues, where the relaxed vibe makes it a worthwhile experience, even with the admission fee for hotel guests. If you are looking for frills, this is not your place; however, if you value live music and a central location, it could be a great option.”
