Overall the room was nice, the only miss, we had 4 people staying in the room and there weren't enough towels to accommodate for the number in the room. We had to ask a few times for extra towels, that would be the only negative.

I have no complaints. The staff was excellent. It was close to the conference I attended. The room was clean. I always say this, “You get what you pay for, but I got what I paid for and more.” People who complain are people who don’t travel and have expectations that are over and beyond what they paid for. I would definitely stay here again.

Very nice rooms. Comfortable bed. I gave 4 stars for cleanliness because as I was getting ready in the morning a very strong odor of cigarette smoke was coming through the ceiling vent/fan. We were in a non-smoking room and I didnt have the fan on, so not sure how that was possible.

Nice Stay. Will stay here again!

Two-night stay while attending a multi-day sports event at Now Arena. The hotel is conveniently located and a very nice property overall. Front desk service was excellent. The room was spacious and clean. Only complaint was the in-room wi-fi was very weak that I relied on cellular data to stream video on my devices. The pool is nice, but the fitness room (which I used) is cramped for the amount of equipment they have. Bennigan’s is a decent restaurant. Lastly, it is a safe and secure building. Will stay here again if I’m back in the area!
