A bit dated but acceptable accommodations. Breakfast was the average fare; yogurt, wannabe eggs, turkey sausage patties, cereal, apples and make your own waffles. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Best feature? Trolley stop a one minute walk. Super easy to get downtown without a car.
Old Red. Crap food but good music
Worth the trip! Try the BBQ there. Delicious!
Expensive!

Good location and price. Property was just old and in need of updating. While room was clean the floor was peeling up and had a smell of mold to it. Bathtub while clean was very stained and rusted. The bed was very comfortable and clean.
