"The hotel was unique, a renovated train station. The room was comfortable. Nice pool area and sauna. Good breakfast and bar with happy hour. The hallway was circular, so best to locate the elevator and stairs. The parking lot was small but adequate.2023-10-30"
"Great ambiance and historical setting. The hotel was short-staffed, but the room was clean. The phone didn't work, and maintenance couldn't repair it. The employees weren't able to answer my questions. The pool area was dirty. No continental breakfast the last day of my stay because the crew didn't turn up, and the floor wasn't clean.2022-04-17"

"The hotel staff helped shuttle us to Allianz and explain how to take the metro back. They were patient with our questions. The breakfast attendant kept things stocked, and the variety was nice, but waffle batter ran out and wasn't replenished 30 minutes before breakfast ended. I recommend staying here.2021-08-09"

"This hotel was a great choice in an otherwise expensive area. The customer service was exceptional. We really appreciated the shuttle and free parking, and the complimentary hot breakfast was wonderful. The only negatives were the somewhat uncomfortable bed and the small bathroom, but the positives definitely outweighed the negatives.2019-06-01"

"The hotel looked impressive, and the staff was friendly and informed. However, the coffee maker didn't work properly. Don't open the water bottles by the coffee maker; you'll be charged $5 each. We couldn't figure out how to turn on the light over the table.2020-12-30"
"This was the best hotel ever; we loved everything about it. The decor was so fun, as was the room key theme. We enjoyed trying to find the 4 hidden items in our room related to Prince. The staff was great, and the front desk clerks went out of their way to make our stay wonderful. Book it.2020-10-09"

"We asked for room repairs and cleaning when we left on the shuttle, but nothing was done. The shuttled failed to pick us up after the Wild game. The complimentary breakfast was disorganized, and the food was cold. The on-site bar and restaurant were the bright light of our stay; the service and dining were excellent. Look for a different hotel.2018-01-17"
"The hotel charged extra for Internet access and parking.2016-09-05"
"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. From the nice room to the cocktail reception and complimentary shuttle to the cooked-to-order omelet and coffee, everything was great. The only negative was that the bed sagged in the middle. Definitely a good experience overall.2016-02-03"
"The hotel was too expensive for what we got. Everything was good except the shuttle left us stranded at an event during the winter carnage. We called 3 times an hour and a half before the shuttle hours ended. I won't stay here again.2018-01-31"
"Nice hotel. The room was clean and quiet. I had a lovely stay.2016-10-09"
"The hotel room overlooked the atrium, which I didn't like. Nice that it had a fridge and microwave, though.2016-06-21"
"Not worth the price, though the view was nice and the bathroom was spacious. We weren't told that we'd have to call to have the room serviced. I called for clean cups and towels and they were brought up, but the dirty cups and towels weren't removed. The room and hallway carpeting needed vacuuming. No hotel information in the room. The employees were kind, and the valet service was excellent.2021-10-22"
"The bath was sub-par, and the hotel food was overpriced, but I had a great stay otherwise.2017-10-19"
"An expensive hotel. Everything was first-class until we tried the Citizen Restaurant for breakfast. The service was slow, the food was cold when it arrived, and we didn't get what we ordered. When I told the checkout clerk, I got a blank look.2017-10-12"
"Good location and value. The hotel was modern and had character. I recommend staying here.2019-09-16"
"The hotel room was huge and quiet, even on a lower floor. I didn't hear any traffic noise. Valet parking was available, but there was a covered lot around the corner.2017-10-17"
"Good hotel near the light rail. The check-in clerk let us in early, which was nice.2019-07-15"
"The hotel was clean, but I was disappointed that there was no whirlpool or complimentary breakfast. The pool was tiny. I expected more for the price.2019-06-23"
"A wonderful experience. Walk to the football stadium and close to everything. The hotel was nice and clean, and the staff was hospitable. Be sure to pull up in front to unload, otherwise you'll have to haul your luggage from the garage. Nothing at this hotel was free except in-room coffee and ice. The pool was small, but the exercise room was awesome. There was a tram that went everywhere I wanted to go.2017-12-20"
"The hotel was cool, clean, and nice. Great shuttle service to the fair.2022-09-05"

"OK hotel, but it was too far from downtown to walk. There were plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, but they weren't as trendy as downtown. Nice bar and restaurant.2019-04-13"
"Easy to access. The hotel was clean and well-appointed, and the employees were helpful and pleasant to interact with. There were good areas for walking dogs. My husband was satisfied with the workout room. We'll stay here again.2018-12-31"

"In trying to be trendy, this hotel missed the boat in comfort. The room was small and felt like a dorm room. The clock looked like a block of wood, and I couldn't figure out how to get the time to display. Even the lights weren't easy to operate. The hardwood floors didn't feel good on my tired feet, and the table looked like a picnic table and had uncomfortable chairs. There was a bench next to the table for some reason. If you like expensive and trendy without comfort, this is the place for you.2017-08-02"

At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
