The hotel is conveniently located near the stadium and retail stores but facing an empty field past a poorly installed outlet. The room had a comfortable bed but encountered difficulty finding my reservation initially. The dining options provided craveable salads, though there were some service issues. Despite these drawbacks, the facilities were adequate for a pleasant stay.

The hotel is perfectly located in a vibrant neighborhood close to the river, although there were some issues with the outlets. The rooms are cozy with a lovely bathtub, but my reservation couldn't be found easily by the staff. The iced and frozen coffee was fantastic at the dining area, yet there were some concerns about the outlets. Overall, it offers great value for the money.
