Wish I could review the bar separately. The rooms are totally convenient, great location. They held our luggage when we arrived really early, and the gentleman who helped was really friendly. The rooms are of adequate size, ok sized bathrooms. The bed however must be from the Jimmy Carter administration, lots of coils that you could feel. Noise wasn't an issue, but we were in October, so didn't need to open windows. Great value for the money, would stay again, but would know that the mattress is way less than comfortable.
