Arena Hotel

Nice cute hotel quiet stay good for friends or couples to have a fun time

The building is kind of old but the room is spacious. Good for the price.

This property is a dump and unsafe, and it has been converted to a homeless shelter but still sells rooms to unsuspecting tourists. DO NOT STAY HERE! Stains, dust, black mold, hostile staff, freezing cold rooms with only a single blanket and rock-hard pillows, a non-working shower, old bedsheets adorning the ratty lobby furniture, and the whole place smells of tobacco and pot. I fled after six sleepless hours. It's also untrue that there is free airport shuttle service, and I ended up paying $68 RT for a cab. They demand an extra $100 on a credit card for potential "damage", which was laughable considering all the damage I found in my miserable room. REPEAT: DO NOT BOOK THIS PROPERTY.

We stayed at this hotel back in 2017. One of the attractions was that it was a short walking distance away from the SAP arena where we were watching the competition. The hotel at that time was comfortable, offered a breakfast buffet in the mornings, and had hospitable personnel. We came back to this hotel in January, 2023, and discovered how the hotel has deteriorated— elevator is not working, no buffet breakfast, and generally a very worn look. We met a fellow customer who said to us that the hotel may have been in the process of being converted to a homeless shelter. We looked this up and found out it was true. That accounted for why the owners are obviously not putting money into basic upgrades.

Great location, comfortable beds, customer service is the best, and the rooms even come with a jacuzzi. Really would come back any time. My car had easy parking, there's a mini fridge in the room, and a heatet too. It's close to downtown and the freeways too. Thanks !
