Staff at the Tara really make the experience. The area has great restaurants, but there is a bit of graffiti and such. Be aware parking is very limited and tight, but we did get a spot both nights. The breakfast was wonderful and the beds were very comfortable.

The stay was good. The only bummer was when we were going to dinner and was going to ask the front desk her suggestions and they weren’t at the desk then we got back and she was there and told us the place we went we would’ve got a discount for staying there.
