Convenient for those traveling with small to medium cars but not for those in trucks and bigger SUVs. Thankfully staff shared possible parking spots that are free but I was there in a less busier time so I doubt there would be enough space during busy season.

PROS: -Right on the strip with great access on foot for shopping and restaurants -Local transit right outside the hotel -Grocery store across the street -Although we did not end up eating any meals int he hotel, The Farm and Fire restaurant comes highly recommended -Front desk staff were super friendly and helpful -Room rates were great for November -Bed was comfortable -Room was very clean -Heated underground parking CONS: -No working fan in the washroom. The rooms are small and with no ventilation....well, you get my point -Shower was waist high and hand held with no way to adjust the pressure. The pressure was full speed ahead and not enjoyable. -I am a coffee drinker and there is only a Nespresso machine in the room. Personally not my favorite but, for some it might be. All in all we enjoyed our stay. I do recommend this hotel.

Great location — just on the east end of downtown which gave good walking to shopping. Good Earth Cafe in the building. Great Restaurant — Axe and Fire — on site as well. The staff are friendly and service oriented. Facility is in operation during renovations which took away somewhat from the experience. Parking at the site is for vehicles under 6’ 1” so my vehicle could not fit which was inconvenient. This should be posted under the parking tab on the website so a person could make alternate arrangements.
