The hotel itself is really nice. The lobby is lovely, cute atmosphere, and has a cafe - and the staff was all chill and friendly ppl! The area nearby is walking distance to eateries and such, but there is a large number of unhoused people around which my Lyft driver warned could be dangerous to navigate at times. Personally, I walked down a few blocks (alone) for pizza and doughnuts, and I was totally fine. The doors stay locked and you have to keycard in for entry and to use the elevator, so it stays secure. The little rooftop is such a fun addition to get a view of the city and is open til 2am. I stayed in a private room with shared bathroom so the fact they give you bathrobes to use while there is really great too
