Walkable to Allstate Arena, a little sketchy trying to cross the road with no crosswalk.

It was a good and comfortable stay.. we were there for 4 days, house keeping tidied the room every day and the on day 2 they replaced sheets and everything. There are no microwaves in the room or ice machine on floors — only in lobby. The breakfast was good on the first morning we were there but other days it was stale. Not sure if there were different cooks; and not much options to choose from but that’s the only improvement I’d recommend. I enjoyed my stay though!

Good enough for a very quick stay!

The hotel was clean and has friendly customer service. In my room: the main light at the door worked& the bathroom light. Because I was only there to sleep and leave extra early in the morning. I didn’t bother to complain. If I was staying longer, I would have changed rooms. Also some amenities in regular rooms were not there like an iron ironing board or closet.
