We booked a night at this hotel because we were attending a concert at Arco Arena, and I thought it was 1/2 block from there. Well....it is MUCH farther than any 1/2 block I've ever seen. The hotel is new, spotless, has fridge and microwave in rooms, has comfy pillows and comforters. FANTASTIC food options! There is a 24 hour "suite shop" in the lobby that has all kinds of snacks and drinks, including microwavable meals. There is a Sizzler, and another bar/restaurant in the same parking lot as the hotel. There is also KFC, A&W, and Taco Bell in the parking lot. The free breakfast has wonderful options, both healthy and deliciously fattening! I WOULD NOT recommend walking to the Arco from the hotel unless the weather is beautiful, your shoes are comfortable and you are in a group. It looks closer than it is, and when we got there we had to walk around to the opposite side of the arena to enter. It is do-able, but not advisable! The staff is wonderful.....everyone very friendly and accommodating. It took us about 10 minutes to get the State Capitol from there. I loved that everything was new and that the food options were so yummy and plentiful! There is a pool, but it was too cold to even go out and look at it! There is only one other hotel near there...so I think it is still the closest to the Arco. (Hampton Suites?)
