Perfection.
Pros:

The room was incredibly comfortable. Very spacious. Is no weird smells anywhere. Hot water all the time. Sheets were clean. They have a jacuzzi that it was functioning and their schedule for the facilities was comforting. I didn't have a free breakfast experience in this hotel but they did receive me with a bag with free water. The front desk was very helpful and always very charming. I would definitely stay in this hotel again. I was a solo traveler, and I felt very safe.

Cons:

I wish that jacobsi was open twenty four hours😂

A comfortable stay at a nice location. Needs some upgrades but overall it was good
Pros:

The location was great for being close to things. Rooms were clean and hallways. Front desk check in employee was great!

Cons:

The parking was tough unless you valet . Was loud with motorcycles and traffic in the middle of the night. The lobby furniture was very worn and used. Not sure if that’s where the musty smell was coming from too in the lobby area.

Good room, not very good staff.
Pros:

The convience of walking a very short walk to the concert venue.

The room was a very good size.

Cons:

The staff was very lack luster. The lady we asked that night sitting at the front desk about a pizza recommendation just looked at us and nodded. I don't think she had any idea what we was saying.

The morning we checked out. Tracy went for coffee the lady asked if it was free or if she had to pay for it just smiled and nodded. Once again can these people speak English?

The hotel has a Starbucks and other amminitys. NONE of which we was told about upon arrival.

The door to the closet in the room was so close to the outside room door it was hard to get in and out of the room.

I would not stay here again unless absolutely necessary
Pros:

Location to Nationwide Arena

Cons:

No convenient parking available. Valet parking was full. Only one public parking garage available but we had to drive around for 30 minutes to find it

The room must have been a previous smoking room. It had a musty smell

Could not check out and they put a $50 hold on my credit card, took it off but still added it to my final total which I now have to dispute with my credit card company

The hotel has several steps you must carry your bags up or down to get to the elevators, not ADA accessible
Pros:

The location and some but not most employees were very helpful example the bistro the employee refuse to make half the things on the limited menu. The wait for valet parking when arriving was unacceptable

Cons:

The cleanliness

It was a great place to stay.
Cons:

The only thing that disappointed me was that the Bistro wasn't open at dinner time. Apparently the first shift had misplaced the key.

Stay away……
Pros:

I recently spent three nights at this hotel. While the hotel cannot control the surrounding nightlife or traffic, it absolutely can control its soundproofing. Having stayed at major downtown hotels in Tokyo, Shanghai, and San Francisco, I know that quality windows and blackout curtains can effectively block even severe city noise. Unfortunately, this hotel failed to provide that level of insulation.
During my first two nights, the nightclub around the corner stayed busy late into the night. The noise became even worse when patrons left, with many drivers revving their engines excessively. I was awakened both nights and called the front desk, only to be told there was nothing they could do—even though they acknowledged that many guests had made the same complaint.

The hotel then moved me to what was supposed to be a quieter room, but it was actually worse. It faced a much taller building across the street, creating an echo chamber that amplified the constant noise from cars and buses.
Paying more than $300 per night only to be repeatedly awakened, lose sleep, and suffer headaches throughout my business trip is unacceptable. As Marriott Platinum Elite member, I contacted corporate during my stay and was told that, because this is a franchised property, the hotel had to resolve the issue on its own.
Management initially offered complimentary breakfast and 1,000 points, which I declined because it did not reflect the severity of the problem. After another call to corporate, the hotel increased its goodwill offer to 7,500 points. Considering that a standard award night at this property costs around 30,000 points, the compensation was disappointing.

This was, without question, the worst hotel stay I have ever experienced. Management knows this is an ongoing issue because numerous guests have complained about it, yet no meaningful improvements have been made. If you're looking for a normal hotel stay and a good night's sleep, I recommend staying elsewhere.

We had a mostly positive experience. The room served it’s purpose and was in a great location.
Pros:

The room was nice and clean and the staff at the front desks were very friendly.

Cons:

The valet parking was a nightmare. We arrived and had to wait 20 minutes in the car before we were helped. Then, the valet almost backed into our car with the Jeep that he was moving that was parked in front of us. The other valet had to yell for him to stop and then help him safely get the car out of the line. After checking out and leaving, we stopped for gas where we noticed the back driver tire had been curbed. Luckily our rim was not scratched or I would be way more upset. Definitely not worth the $36 you charge! Also, the pillows in the room were tiny and very uncomfortable.
