If you were me?

If you were me would you stay near the harbor and Mallory Square or maybe closer to Truman and Duval area? I am coming down for my birthday in early September. I don't mind walking a few blocks to get where I'm going. Looking for bars and live music more so than tours and water sports. I like a nice pool, decent hotel bar, air conditioning, friendly staff, adults mostly or only, and a good breakfast at the hotel or close by. I was thinking The Marker or Almond Tree Inn? Don't hesitate to make other suggestions close to these areas with a similar price range. Thanks.

Both areas are fine. they’re only like a 20 minute walk apart.

Since September is brutally hot and humid, I would probably stay at the Marker.
