I picked this hotel based on pricing and different room options available versus all the other standard hotel rooms. We were able to pick a loft room that was spacious and clean. Windows were not ideal as the ones that were not whited out in the room (most of them were blocked off with white, non see through film, were facing a parking garage instead. Seems like those should have also been covered at that point. The set up of having to check in then walk back out and into another building was different but not a deal breaker. Management that checked us in was amazing and he heard it was my son's bday and brought us a special treat almost immediately after check-in so that was a wonderful touch! We slept well and had no issues. If you are looking for something that is more walkable to restaurants/bars, may want to look further but if you have an event at the convention center then this is the place. Ubers came almost immediately to pick us up anytime we needed it. Last point I will share, thought parking was free however, upon arrival, learned that it is NOT and we paid $40.00 plus tip for valet overnight but maybe I should have looked for a street option however I did not want to for safety reasons so I sucked it up and paid the valet fee instead.

Definitely worth the price. Staff was very nice and accommodating. It’s very classy and elegant in the inside. Our room was nice and clean. It was stocked with a lot of towels which we loved. We traveled 2 hours to stay a night for a concert and it was at nationwide arena and it was so perfect to walk to and from the concert. Definitely will stay again if the opportunity ever presents itself.

Finding the hotel at night from the garage was difficult since most doors were locked and it was not a safe walk
