Me and some of my coworkers did not stay at the hotel but we went in to the bar located in the hotel. When we got to the door the bouncer stopped us because we had on jackets in 30 degree weather. He advised us that he need to take our JACKETS( which do have a zipper) to the car... More

This Hotel takes you back in time, it is a older hotel with so many great qualities. The staff is great and the rooms are comfy. There is a bar for relaxing in at night and a inside Restaurant. You are directly across from West Town Mall and so many eating places surround you.

Once in a while it is nice to break free from the hotel/motel chains, and experience the seedier more interesting side of motor lodging. This place has a grand aspect from the busy strip mall type street. The lobby... More
