Not for everyone...
Kinda marginal neighborhood next to boarded up school and housing project ... police sirens, incredibly noisy *public* pool party on weekends. If you consider yourself young, adventurous and a "party person," this may just be the place for you! Desk staff was all right athough a little clueless. Seemed quite light on security. The restaurant employees and housekeeping staff were very friendly. (And the food in restaurant was tasty but an extremely imited menu.) My room on the sixth floor faced the Capitol (and the freeway), and was quiet other than the sirens, which I am accustomed to from home. Do not recommend for women unfamiliar with the area and traveling alone. I was a ittle unnerved by loud hallway sounds (I was next to elevator) and a guy having a long, profanity-peppered argument with someone while sitting outside one of the rooms on my foor!
