This was my first stay here and I loved it! The bed was the most comfortable hotel bed I've slept in. My room was very clean and I loved the special touches of the stadium art on the headboard along with the boutique throw pillows. I look forward to visiting again!

This is a review as demanded ... I felt like I was in my grandmother's guest room. Decorated in the roaring 20s and with linens that gramma had been using as rags. Staff was friendly.

Nice stay for a concert

Room was clean, valet was a great benefit, disappointed there was no pool or hot tub. A must stay if you are attending a concert in this area. If you stay here, you can walk to venues. Otherwise, parking options are limited.
