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!
