What People Say

Guests praise the clean, quiet rooms and the hotel’s super-convenient location near shopping, restaurants, and the airport. The friendly staff and free breakfast also get high marks, especially from travelers on a budget. Many mention it’s an easy and reliable place to crash after a long night.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the hotel’s décor is a bit dated in places, and that it’s more of a “no-frills” stay than a boutique experience. But for concert-goers, that often means more money for merch and tickets.

The Bottom Line

A clean, affordable, and well-located base for concert-goers who want comfort, convenience, and a quiet night’s sleep after the show.
