I am in the area for work and this facility is close to the site. It has nice local amenities within walking or a very short drive distance. It is also merely a 20 minute drive from the airport. This staff is very friendly and the live music on Wednesday nights in the lounge is an awesome treat.

Perfect for concert goers

It was a very nice hotel, room was clean and comfortable. Convenient for the amphitheater and shopping. Only complaint was the cost of breakfast. Very overpriced for what was provided.

Great Stay!

The hotel stay was for a show at the Orion Amphitheater. The proximity couldn't be best!! I enjoyed a couple drinks at the bar with my friends, the bartender was very sweet and great at her job! The price of the room was reasonable, parking was easy with no issues, there are maybe restaurants and stores near by... Over all excellent locations. I almost forgot the shower has excellent water pressure.
