8/10 Good

"Loved how they were playing kpop alot in the hotel. Staff was sooo nice aswell!! I just wish the beds werent so stiff. But other than that i loved staying at the hotel"

District Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Just what I was looking for at an affordable price. The District Hotel is an easy less than 1 mile walk from the convention center. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. There are a number of excellent Thai restaurants just around the corner from the hotel. The hotel room has everything you need for a comfortable night stay. I was even able to stretch out on my yoga mat in the second smallest room. The shower was a good size with plenty of hot water. The bed had white bedding, multiple pillows and was comfortable. My one recommendation to guests would be to bring body lotion and maybe ear plugs (I did not need mine, but was prepared if I did). "
