2. We wanted to be able to walk around downtown in the day and go out and party at night, so staying here was great because it was just a couple minute cab ride down the street.

10. This is nothing fancy but certainly worth $100 a night if you can swing it - Drawback is that its 3 miles from the downtown area, so a long walk or $13 cab each way if thats your thing - otherwise in a decent area of town, but not too many options or restaurants or bars in the immediate area.

"A bargain for $100 per night or less " Read full review on TripAdvisor 9/7/2010 Vote
