I paid $85 per night and was very satisfied. PROS: Decent hot breakfast, nice breakfast room, cozy-ish entrance and lobby yet still professional, nice staff, clean rooms, good AC/Heat system, nice bathroom & shower, heat lamp in bathroom. Mattresses good enough but not great. Big CVS next door. CONS (none of these are deal breakers in my opinion): paper plates at breakfast with plastic silverware and styrofoam coffee cups (UHG) !!!! , pillows sub-standard, lighting by sink could be better.

This hotel is fantastically located, with food, the HP Pavilion, and the Amtrak station right down the street! It's situated in a little garden area that makes it seem cozy and away from the city bustle. The hotel itself has tons of character! The rooms are clean, with plush carpet, and very large. Mine had a fridge and a microwave! It was also quiet, with great black-out shades and a comfy bed. I slept so well! Parking is free, and so is the internet, which is pretty fast. I highly recommend this amazing hotel!

This was the only non-Motel 6 hotel I could find for a recent 1-night stay there, which was a little disconcerting. The hotel is fairly attractive. I like the way the floors had an open area just off the elevators, instead of stepping directly into a hallway. Room had an unusual odor when first entering, but was not noticeable after a few minutes. Beds were comfortable. Didn't notice any bed bugs. :) Jacuzzi tub was HUGE--nearly twice as wide as a standard rectangular tub, but I don't take baths so this didn't really affect me. The room was a bit drafty, but heater worked fine. Main complaint is that my room faced the street, and at 5am a garbage truck or something was banging LOUDLY--it was so bad it sounded like my window was open, and went on for like 10 minutes. Absolutely no noise reduction, at least from outside. Breakfast buffet was so-so--eggs, pancakes, cereal, yogurt, some fruit. No meat or potatoes. All in all it was okay, but I wouldn't stay here again unless I had no other decent alternatives.

I stay at the Arena hotel about once a month for business, and have generally had an okay experience there (although the first time I stayed there they put me in a room where the mattress was entirely stained with blood, as if someone had been murdered there). But my recent trip was so horrible I will not return. While staying on the 3rd floor, I woke to discover myself covered in bed bug bites. I did a check for bugs when I first checked in, and didn't notice--but they were there. I found several and brought them to the front desk. The person on duty seemed more concerned with making sure I wasnt talking loud enough for the other guests to hear than helping me figure out how to not bring these home with me. They also mentioned this is not the first time bed bugs have been found in the hotel--in fact, two other times in the last year an infestation has been reported.
