- "The style of our room, it didn’t feel too modern as like most nice hotels now of days. The hotel cares, the comfort of the bed was the best bed I have ever slept on in my life. The pillows were quality pillows. On top of that there was a big tv with up to date tech everything you want Netflix, Hulu and much more. At other hotels that were more expensive than my stay here the room would be very modern and sleek for the aesthetic. The tv’s there would be cable and you couldn’t access Netflix and stuff like that. The beds are not as high quality and the staff was not nearly as good. This is the best hotel we have ever stayed at by a long shot and if we ever go back to pnc arena we will gladly be staying there again."
