Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate the serene setting after a high-energy show. The 24-hour front desk makes late arrivals easy, and the free on-site parking is a big plus if you're road-tripping to venues.

Plus, some rooms even have patios or terraces—perfect for winding down with a drink under the stars.
