It’s a beautiful location. The hotel was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The staff was incredible - I would like to give a special shout out to Noelle - she certainly went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and ensure we had everything we needed.

Love love love this hotel!
Pros:

This hotel is the most incredible place to stay. The staff is so kind and hard working. All the amenities were so relaxing and welcoming. Always will come back!

Cons:

The only complaint is the chairs on the private balconies from both of our stays were covered in bird droppings and the table seemed too small for a breakfast or meal. The reading light with our previous stay was broken and didn’t want to turn off so had to tape it with a bandage through the evening so we could sleep.

Very nice hotel, steps away from Golden 1 Center
Pros:

This is a nice, clean, modern hotel. We had a great room at the end of the hall with a big balcony. The room was spacious and comfortable, with good closet and drawer space, functional bedside tables and electrical outlets. The shower was kind of weak, but the bathroom had adequate counter space and there was a list of amenities they can provide if you’ve forgotten anything, very thoughtful (see photo). They welcomed us with a plate of sweets. When we had an issue with the TV they sent Maintenance promptly to fix it.
There is no restaurant, just a bar with a light menu. They do offer room service breakfast, and there is an Echo & Rig restaurant just off the lobby which also serves breakfast til 10am. There are several other restaurants within a couple blocks, including the Hyatt Centric which had a very good breakfast available til 2pm daily.
The location is great for attending an event at Golden 1 Center, just a few steps across the plaza.
