The rooms are very nice and comfy. The only thing I have to complain about is that the room I was in did not have a microwave, and in the morning we had a coffee pot but no coffee to brew; I only had tea bags. Other than that, the room was pretty nice.

Convenient hotel to stay at before a gate game allows hotel guests to enjoy a pregame with their friends and family. As far as the breakfast options, it could be better. Was very inconsistent, but staff was able to accommodate eventually.
