Overall, the hotel was clean and a very convenient location. Upon arrival the person at check in was very unprofessional. Any questions that were asked about the room or check in process in itself was responded to with attitude or scrolling in her phone which I assumed was her way of checking things. The night time front desk attendant very friendly and helpful.
I had a great experience Tawnshay
Cater was an amazing front desk lady she did a great job made us feel welcomed she was amazing with our kids let there was a game room and a scavenger hunt for the kids and they got prizes at the end this in a great place to take kids yea there’s no pool but who needs a pool when you can do scavenger hunts and win prizes and play in the game room and eat cookies and popcorn
When I arrive the line was almost out the door to check in. I figured it would be busy being close to the venue, however they had 1 employee checking people in. He kept apologizing to everyone for the hold up. The staff was very polite, I loved the location and the room was clean. Parking was close. Some things were a little outdated but nothing major.
For starters, the room was fine with the exception of no tissues in it. This hotel has no onsite parking ( it's across the street) and it's an additional $20( not terrible) In addition, it's seven floors with an ice machine on each floor, but only one had ice!(I hit all seven floors and finally found one!) At least there are plenty of restaurants, breweries and bars within walking distance.

It was okay for one night stay. No parking lot next to hotel. Parking cost $15.00 across the street and the walkability to the lot was awful. Hotel staff was great. Room service was overpriced, food was not great and it was left in the lobby.
Clean room. Convenient location. Parking was super easy.

The room was clean, the air conditioning kept the room a comfortable temperature, and the bed was also pretty comfortable. The fridge worked, but it froze some of our liquids. The doors are very thin and the ice machine for the floor was right outside our room, so I was woken up all hours of the night and morning by people getting ice. The WiFi was broken so the entire hotel’s “system” was down, which meant I had to write my full credit card number and other information on a piece of paper to leave with the front desk. I have no way to verify if that was kept secure. The hotel’s parking lot was closed so we had to park in the city lot, which cost $36 for one night. Overall, staying here was a positive experience and we would stay again. Best price in town, and within walking distance of everything we visited that night.

Nice hotel decent price for downtown location, the only bad thing is parking there is a $19 fee daily to park.
We stayed here for 2 nights. Room was clean, building was in good condition. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful, however parking can be confusion as you have to park across street but overall it was a nice place to stay at a decent rate
straight forward stay comfy beds clean rooms…. no real amenities on site beside some vending machines in a game room, but close to everything downtown and the convention center reasonably priced.
I've stayed here many times when in town for events. Perfect location to convention center and the arena district.

There was no breakfast at this hotel as advertised. I would definitely suggest checking the actual hotel website for up to date information. Also no gym on site. You had to walk to get there. We were in town for a volleyball tournament at the convention center and the location was worth the trouble of staying at a not so nice place.

Parking is across the street and is 19 dollars a day. We had a room on the 1st floor and it was clean and as described. It was a budget friendly hotel for downtown. No breakfast, just hot black coffee in the morning.
