Room was nice. Parking was 10/day and lot was not the easiest to park unless you parked on level 2 that was outside and accessible by anyone walking by. There were not a lot of parking spots available. Breakfast was not included as mentioned on the booking. You could hear noises outside through the night. When you were sleeping

The hotel was nice and clean. It was walking distance from the arena HOWEVER. There is a train track very near and it seems to run at night. The hotel offered ear plugs - that should give you an idea as to how loud it is.

The hotel was clean and very up to date. But, the man at the front desk was extremely rude. I have never checked into a hotel and had someone talk to my family the way he did. He wouldn't even tell us where our room was. I told him we have a U-haul trailer and adked is parking available and we were told you have to pay for 2 spots and there was room, even through I asked prior to booking we had to wait an hour before we could get parking. I will never stay again, nothing to the hotel, but extremely rude male at the check in desk. I never leave a bad review until now
