Comfortable, short walk to arena.
Pros:

Lots of selections for breakfast…although there were no egg omelets when I first arrived. I have stayed at this location numerous times over the last 20 years as I used to come for the dental convention every year. I have retired no, so I no longer come yearly. I was glad to see Clifford was still there..got to talk to him and he says he only works weekends, part-time now….he is a treasure…always so pleasant and friendly.

Cons:

I did the online check-in so I could avoid the front desk, which was crowded when I arrived; however, I was unable to get the key on my phone…I called and went through a 20 minute phone conversation with no solution. I went back down to the front desk and a nice employee quickly got me a regular key. So very helpful. But phone representatives not helpful. Did not like the fact that your price was triple what I would normally pay because of the concert. I believe this is price gouging. Also price of valet parking my car is too expensive….was $35, which was already pricy…now even higher. You don’t even have a bottle of water in the room. That would be a nice amenity to offer. Valet parking was very backed up upon my arrival around 4 pm…and also on checking out..around 11 am.

Pros:

Came for a concert and loved the hotel & location which was within walking distance to go eat or have an adult beverage :)

Clifford at the front desk is so upbeat & welcoming. He's an asset to your hotel & company! He was always very pleasant and knowledgeable of where to go eat, etc.

okay
Pros:

comfy bed. decent breakfast. good dark roast coffee!

Cons:

had a few issues. Leticia never logged in a package i received (that I needed) and her excuse was "there are a lot of packages for the conventions and not everything gets logged in". I find this a pathetic excuse. Since the convention center is across the street, the excuse that you can't do your job is unacceptable. Maybe a better logging system? But shrugging your shoulders is not a way to treat a guest. I could be someone really important.

Pros:

The hotel front desk was very helpful! I had forgotten bottled water for my C-PAP machine and thr gentleman working the front desk, (I wish I would have gotten his name, but he was working 3rd shift on the night of jan 10, 2026) brought me 2 bottles of water to room 410. It was very nice and my family appreciated it very much!!!

Cons:

There wasn't much to NOT like. But, if I had to say anything, it was the 2 elevators being out. But that wasn't a deal breaker. We got our steps in!!
