1. Our room (301) overlooked Locust street and there was a large mural on a wall to the side of a car park opposite that provided a pleasant view.

"Excellent hotel in a good location. " Read full review on TripAdvisor 4/23/2012 Vote

2. Also, unless your room is located in the front of the hotel don't expect a spectacular view (the building next door is in the process of being demolished).

3. From rooms with great views, to the loft suite, to rooms with brick walled bathrooms this hotel is beautifully designed/decorated has direct tv, ipod docking stations and lighting, room service etc controllable by the telephone, large beds, plenty of towels and is emmaculately clean.
