Incredible place to stay. Was impressed the moment we drove up, and could see the families outside playing on the Concourse, and patrons enjoying the fine dining on the outside portion of the adjoining restaurant. Parking structure is gated and very close to the hotel. Hotel design is hip, thoughtful, and overall very cool. Hotel check-in staff was cheerful and attentive to booking details. Room design was very modern, and laid out thoughtfully for travelers to enjoy. Bed and pillows were very comfortable, and the bathroom and shower were actually slightly apart, a big difference from the normal.’ toilet right next to the shower.’ layout. We enjoyed a nice dinner at their restaurant, the Roger, and while the menu options may have been a bit pricey., 20-30$, we got the Gnocchi and chicken saltimbocca, and the food was pretty good. The drink options were in line with typical alcohol prices and very good. Our super friendly waiter recommended the milk and cookies tart for dessert, and we also ordered the Saturn dessert, and both were very delicous and reasonably priced. We even went down the next morning for breakfast, with prices ranging from 15-25$, ordering the classic American breakfast and a Roger burger, and again, both great, although bacon could be a little less crunchy. Definitely the best hotel experience we’ve had in a long time, and would 1000% stay here again if given the chance.
