The location is what most will have issue with. It's definitely fringe. However, it's also kitty-corner to the old Harold News building - a Moorish masterpiece - that will most certainly be repurposed soon. The hotel is EXACTLY as advertised. It's kitschy and cool, with an interior that harkens back to upscale old Hollywood glam with modern touches and with a little tongue-in-cheek. This is exactly what I want in a hotel and the Hoxton delivered 100%. I only marked down for location because, well, the location.*
*Warning. DO NOT PASS UP staying at this hotel because of the location.
