Pros:

Location

Cons:

Breakfast was extremely bad; the noise made by 5 or 6 cleaning staff members gathered on the floor right in front of our room, talking incessantly, was unbelievable. The hotel management lacked any sense of professionalism.

It was horrible!
Pros:

Loved the closeness and easy access to the Toyota Center. Very short, easy walk from hotel!!! ♥️

Cons:

The hotel weren’t by a bar that played live music to 3:00/4:00 am Saturday and Sunday nights!!! Couldn't sleep at all! Most unbearable hotel stay anywhere, ever! Not worth saving the money. Should have stayed at the Hilton!
