Expensive convenience close to event space
For such an expensive night $380, I was disappointed in the thin walls that I could hear the gentleman next door coughing through the night and my daughter (14) and I both waking up with sore backs with a quite uncomfortable bed. Staff was helpful and kind during a busy weekend though.

This is a great place to stay. It was very clean and the staff was quite friendly. The Wells Fargo Arena is right across the street if you are going to an event and there are several options for dining within walking distance.
