Close to beautiful parks, trails and the bay. Industrial like area close to the arena. Not walking distance to much other than the arena. Navigating the hotel can a bit complex especially when with a large group that is spread out like we were. Staff is super helpful and friendly. Room was clean. Hotel was clean, even the areas that usually get ignored like stair wells. Only one EV parking space for the hotel that we could see otherwise a large amount of parking. Room 354 spacious with a kitchenette, microwave and small fridge. Dishes limited to some cutlery and dinner and bread plates. Dish soap, one tea towel and one dish cloth provided. Cups were disposable single use and wrapped. Chairs at the large conference style table were office chairs, some were broken unable to go up or down. I would suggest bringing your own pillows. The ones provided were very firm and cube like. The bed was reasonably comfortable. Pool is more like an oversized hot tub. Gym is no where near the hot tub, suana area. Gym is located across from the front desk which I found a bit awkward since there were a number of people checking in when I went to use the gym. The best thing about this hotel is the staff. Everyone I passed smiled and said hello. The place being as clean in all areas is a tribute to their hard work and dedication.
