This hotel does not have parking - false advertising.
Pros:

The rooms were clean and comfortable
Ideal location for the arena

Cons:

The staff are terrible with customer service. Can’t deal with complaints, can’t even speak to you when you say good evening.
The hotel does not have parking which is advertised. It gives you a discount on a nearby car park but fails to tell you there is a height restriction.
No water in rooms and minimal tea/coffee.
No iron or ironing board in rooms.
