We loved the location. It was right next to the Golden 1 Center where we were attending a concert. The Arena is part of a beautiful outdoor Mall that is only steps away from the hotel with many shops and yummy restaurants. The king sized bed was comfortable and the staff was super friendly. We would definitely recommend.
