We stayed overnight in order to attend an event at the Dominion Energy Arena. It was a 10-12 minute walk from the hotel. There were restaurants in the area as well so the location was very convenient. The hotel room is not big but very adequate. I have no complaints.

Very convenient & easily walkable to the Allianz Ampitheatre. Parking was a little scary wondering if the car was going to fit, it's a very low ceiling. Bed was comfy. Shower pressure wasn't great. Breakfast was nice!

The property is a bit dumpy. There was a water leak in the lobby when we arrived with fans blowing everywhere. The bathtub had pink mold around the grout. For the price, I was hoping it would be a bit cleaner. Location was convenient, but parking was $20.
