Pros:

The hotel has a lot going for it—friendly and helpful staff, clean rooms, and very good food. The city view from the room was a nice bonus and made the stay feel special. However, the hotel is located right next to a stadium, which can get quite noisy, especially during events. If you’re a light sleeper or looking for a very quiet stay, this might be something to consider. Overall, a pleasant stay with great service, but the noise level could be an issue for some guests.

Cons:

Make sure you check events at the nearby concert Stadium if you are a light sleeper
