Good Stay Close to the Stadium

dog bedfun gamescheerful atmospherefriendly staff

I booked this hotel because it was close to the stadium. I ended up adoring the place for so many reasons. The staff surprised us with a dog bed, bowls, and a toy when we mentioned our dog at check-in. Our fur baby loved it. The entire hotel has a cheerful atmosphere and fun games like foosball. there is also pinball.

The bar's cocktails did not meet expectations. We visited twice and each time the cocktails ranked among the worst I've had. I suggest avoiding mixed drinks at this hotel.
