Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel’s location makes it easy to get to shows without the stress—whether you’re catching a gig at Express Live!, Newport Music Hall, or another downtown venue. The free parking is a major plus for road-tripping fans, and the 24-hour front desk means late-night returns are no problem. After the show, relax in the shared lounge or shoot some pool.
