“This Arcadia address offers a competitively priced stay, especially advantageous for conference-goers utilizing its extensive facilities. While some may find the lack of elevators and quirky flooring a minor inconvenience, the on-site dining and proximity to fast food provide convenient options. I think its defining feature is those rooftop views of the Union Buildings - a perspective few other hotels can match.”
