Loved it. Would gladly come back. Thank you!
Pros:

Location was perfect, close to everything. We asked if we could have a room with a city view and the staff delivered, it was awesome overlooking the new stadium and we got to see a beautiful sunrise the following day. The shower pressure and amenities were excellent. Great cocktails and service at the bar downstairs.

Cons:

The bed was a little uncomfortable, and there was a lip at the door to the bathroom that we kept stubbing our toes on but otherwise everything was great.
