The hotel is nice with a great restaurant onsite. Other dining options plus a grocery store are an easy walk from the hotel. Concierge and front desk were great. One of the best hotel gyms I’ve experienced. My only 2 issues are that they have company meetings/events which take up areas that can be used by guests specifically the game area. Also noise from the street and the DJ at the restaurant can be loud.
