Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasing. The room was spotless and cozy, and the staff was incredibly kind and accommodating. However, the dining experience left something to be desired with cold food. The location was convenient and close to downtown attractions, while the facilities were satisfactory. The value for money was reasonable, considering the amenities provided.
The hotel's rooms were clean and comfortable, making for a pleasant stay. The service provided was very friendly and attentive. While the location was excellent for attending the Wells Fargo Arena, the dining options were average. The facilities were well-maintained and added value to the overall experience.
Upon check-in, the room was a bit warm at 78 degrees and could have been cleaner, but overall, it was comfortable. The service was amiable, and the staff offered assistance promptly. The location was excellent, just five minutes from my meeting place, making it ideal for my stay. The dining experience was average, with a cold buffet breakfast, but it was affordable and convenient. The facilities were satisfactory, meeting my basic needs during the stay.
