This is a nice hotel, but there are Marriott branded Hotels closer to downtown, albeit not FS Hotels. I have stayed here many times. You essentially have to take the trolly to get to the good parts of downtown, unless you don't mind the long walks. Also, this is where all of the cruise ship people stay, so it can be packed with them, especially on weekends. I think even if you spend a little more for the Marriott's closer to downtown, you will have a funner time. The police block off some of these streets at night (You have to go through a gated setup), so it truly is a walkable downtown.
