We love how big the room was and very clean. We love the layout of the bathroom too. The hotel is walking distance to the arena which made it convenient for our event. The Family Mart right by the hotel was also a wonderful feature.

It is a very nice hotel that is very clean. The only challenge we found was transportation access. That said, the price is very reasonable.

Ok
Nice new hotel, but the beds are extremely hard and quite uncomfortable. The service is really good, though, and the restaurant is decent (better for lunch than breakfast, in my opinion).
