From the moment you walk in everyone is so friendly and easy to talk to. Checking in and out was a breeze. The rooms were really clean and nice. Breakfast was great! Definitely will be returning. The amphitheater is literally across the street, which was perfect and you have five guys right next door.

The hotel is very, very clean and well maintained. The bedding was super comfortable. I wish I could’ve taken home with me. I was pleasantly surprised with the breakfast. The staff was so helpful and amazing and the food was actually really good. I don’t usually eat Hotel breakfast, but I had a little bit of everything. I would highly recommend this hotel. And we’ll definitely stay there next time I go to a concert in the area.
