I booked the 2Queen Suite with the sofa and the room was EXTREMELY SMALL. It was the standard size room and less than mediocre at best. The bathroom was tiny and seemed to be squeezed in a corner with floor molding coming off and just simply worn down. Fridge was dirty and furniture was so bulky that there was no room to.move around. Coffee place closed early hours and no amenities to enjoy.

I truly enjoyed the recreational aspects of this hotel to include the rooftop pool and amenities at the pool the only thing that will make this hotel better as if the rooftop pool bar was open seven days a week. It was not open on Sunday.

Check in and check out was easy and no wait at all. Front staff was nice. We did breakfast in the morning which we do not recommend. It was very overpriced for a self serve buffet line and not very organized. The omelette was very good but the person working at the station had no personality. Highly recommend searching for another food option in the area if time allows. Room was okay. Not horrible but not state of the art. Surely could use some updates. I think we got placed in a handicap accessible room so the toilet was practically on the ground. I thought the shower pressure was great being so strong, wife thought it was too strong. While it was not something to write home about we would stay again. Walk was about 15 minutes to the arena so location was not bad at all. Everything was within a decent walking distance.
