The free breakfast and parking also get frequent shout-outs from travelers. Guests also appreciate the hotel’s overall value for money and solid amenities like the pool and gym.

Areas for Improvement

While it’s a hit for comfort and convenience, it’s not in the heart of the nightlife scene—you’ll need to drive or Uber for post-show fun. Also, while the vending machines are handy, there’s no full restaurant or bar on-site, so plan ahead for late-night cravings.
