amazing stay near the arena!

clean hotel secure entrance spacious kitchen

i loved how clean and secure it felt! pin-based locks on both the front door and room doors gave great peace of mind. the shared living room and kitchen were spacious. also, the washer and dryer access was a definite plus, even though i didn't need them this time!

The tv setup needed some work though. It only worked through apps and an online connection which felt a bit clunky.

Facilities
