Food and Drink Options

Start your morning right—even after a late night—with a free continental breakfast. While there's no restaurant on-site, many walkable dining options are nearby in Utica. Guests with a suite can prep their own snacks or meals thanks to in-room kitchens with a fridge, microwave, and dishwasher. While there's no 24/7 room service, the hotel does offer vending machines and the flexibility to grab food on your own schedule.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you're within quick reach of local theaters and bars in downtown Utica and nearby Sterling Heights. It's a great base if you're planning to explore the local scene before or after the main event. For those who prefer a chill nightcap, the area has several lounges and pubs just a short drive away.

Areas for Improvement
