This was an aging hotel that needs some refurbishment doing very soon. The room wasn’t very nice and the AC was very noisy. The location was good and there were plenty of bars and restaurants near by. We went here as we were following England at the World Cup.

I didn't realize the hotel was under construction but service was still amazing. Be careful if you plan on parking because I paid for it through hotels.com but was still charged $50 by the garage itself.
