Terrific spot, few amenities
As an older business traveller, I booked first and read reviews second, then was a little worried I would be staying in a shined up crack house. As I was in town for a convention just prior to BeerFest, most of the downtown hotels had jacked their rates up sky high. Either the Jet did not follow suit or was inexpensive to start with, but it was half the cost of staying at the Hilton Garden Inn. And I liked the Jet. Location is great, close to public transport and just steps to the pedestrian mall shuttle bus. Easy walk to great restaurants, brew pubs, bars. I had a top floor room that was plenty big enough, shower worked, bed was comfy with a good mattress and soft sheets. Decor was modern, nice enough, nothing particularly special. Outdoor balcony was a treat, though I'd agree the furniture was not especially nice. Cleanliness was just OK, carpets could use a shampooing in places which is I guess concerning with the report of the swingers event! My stay was Sunday to Thursday, so there was not much going on in the bar apart from a few couples salsa dancing one night, nothing noisy enough to disturb me at all. Room did look over an alleyway where trash trucks made rounds sort of early though.
Overall I had a good experience and a good value. It is not going to be confused with a W or a Monaco brand of contemporary boutique hotel, but the value and location made it a good pick for my stay.
