Was surprised by condition of hotel especially in this area. Carpet and furniture worn and stained and laundry machines were quite old. But laundry was free beds larger than expected and very comfortable. Best part was the pleasant and helpful staff. Everyone from the housekeepers to the front desk ...

H2O Hotel
Short walk from Arena station. Ideal if u are catching a concert. The hotel was heart warming to spot that my birthday was a day before the check in date and gifted me a bottle of red wine. Applause for their effort in looking into the details.

Watermark Hotel
Beautiful view, comfy bed. The ceiling in the bathroom (when standing on the tub) could feel low if you are 6 feet tall. We had no problem. Will come back to this place!
