Nice place... that fell short
Pros:

Staff was great, we had to take a different room with 2 beds because they were over sold on Kings. As two were block off for Maintenace or something like that - night manager could not figure it out completely. They adjusted our bill for the inconvenience. But still, why are you able to book something and not be able to get what you booked.

Cons:

The property is perfect for a stay at the Power and Light District just a 4-minute walk... But the hotel does not offer much else. Parking lot is super small - so get there early, if you want a spot. There is no indoor pool, or any other amenities really. The free breakfast is super disappointing, with a person that helps out with getting things prepared, or re stocked but offer no other help - like when the pancake area was not working correctly.

Pretty pricey for just 1 night.
Pros:

It smelled really good right when you walked in the door to check in. The facility was clean and tidy. Staff was super friendly. Our room was up on the 6th floor, it was a double queen bed room. Not a lot of space, but enough. We stayed because of the Lil Wayne concert at the T-Mobile center. It is a 2-3 minute walk across the street, which was really convenient. I would stay here again for convenience and the cleanliness, but paying $400 for 1 room, 1 night, and 2 parking passes is extreme in my opinion.

Cons:

I wish breakfast went later, maybe until 10 or 1030? It was hard to get up before 9am to get to breakfast.

Just what we needed for a weekend at T-mobile.
Pros:

Surprisingly good for a chain hotel, all the basics covered.

Cons:

A little pricey, but you can't beat the location if you have a to-do at T-mobile.
