There is a lot to like about the Stricklin: clean, nice rooms, comfortable bed, easy to walk to restaurants/shops. The big negative for us was the noise. We had a room with a window, and the street noise was a lot (engines revving, loud bass music even overnight). Also, be aware the hotel shares a wall with a restaurant/bar/live music venue, so our final night we heard a show from our hotel room...when we preferred to be asleep. Maybe staying in one of the windowless rooms would be a different, less noisy experience.
