We stayed for the close proximity of the Nationwide Arena for an event. We wanted to be in walking distance and avoid traffic. It was only a five minute walk, so perfect. You can also walk to North Market a few blocks away. Very walkable area here. Front desk was welcoming and courteous. The rooms were well appointed. Beds comfortable and clean. The restaurant downstairs was open late after our event around midnight with good food. Checkout process was smooth. We will definitely stay again without hesitation.
