Pros. The location was excellent. It was close to the areas I wanted to visit. The hotel had the art deco charm I was looking for. Check in was really easy, more hotels should adopt this technique.

Cons. The walls were paper thin. I heard housekeeping knock on the neighboring doors in the morning. Outside of that, the stay was great.
