Beautiful hotel in a great Downtown location near many shops and restaurants. We purchased tickets to a concert at the Lobero Theatre and had a 10 minute walk down State Street to arrive at our destination. Love this nostalgic hotel with comfortable beds and very nice staff. We would definitely stay there again.
