fantastic stay near the arena!
free coffeemodern designdelicious breakfastconvenient location
I really enjoyed the free tea and coffee available in the lobby. Such a nice touch! the whole place felt so clean, modern, and well-presented, which i appreciate. the breakfast was delicious with a lovely dining area, i will say. plus, the location was super convenient, close to both the city center and lots of eateries.
The only slight issue i had was that the bathroom felt a little bit cramped. I bumped my leg once.
