The hotel is 7 blocks from the station (0.4 miles) and the walk includes a steep hill, so plan to take a bus, a cab, or be out of breath by the time you get to the hotel. The easiest transit connection is to walk up Third to Marion, and take the #12 up the hill. It's a free ride till 7 p.m. Trolley stops across the street (6th Ave) from the hotel.
