Convenient Stay Near the Arena
reasonable parking gluten-free options
I really appreciated the reasonable parking fee. The location was advantageous for visiting the nearby arena. Breakfast included gluten-free options, such as bread and cereals with a separate toaster, a considerate touch. Staff members were polite at reception, especially on Sunday morning during checkout.
The bathroom heater definitely needs replacement. Its current condition detracts from the bathroom appeal, especially since the bathroom was large and clean. The appearance impacted my overall impression of the otherwise lovely bathroom.

The hotel provides easy parking at a reasonable daily rate. A lift is available to access upper floors. Breakfast service is available with a range of options.

Practical Access and Great Breakfast
spacious access wheelchair level quick return gluten-free options
As a wheelchair user, I noticed the access throughout the hotel was spacious. The accessible room included fixtures at wheelchair level. Staff quickly returned my dropped purse, which I appreciated. The team stocked breakfast items well, and I enjoyed gluten-free options and oat milk.
The bar had limited choice and the restaurant wasn't open evenings. I am disabled and wanted eat in the hotel. My husband didn't want to drive so he could drink and we had to use a taxi.
