I thought this space was precisely what I needed for the money, and the time I was going to actually spend INSIDE the room considering that I'm going to a city where people party a lot!!! The hotel is in a predominantly African American part of the city, that is clearly, and to me sadly, going through regentrification. I was thrown off by previous reviews that used coded language to explain that. Language like, "It's a bit sketchy", or "not in the best part of town". I found everyone from the hotel staff to the residents that I engaged with to be helpful to the height of southern hospitality, and ready at a moment's notice to brag about their city's restaurants and attractions and point you to cool, safe off the beaten path places. I'd stay their again in a heartbeat!!
