Checking in and parking was a schmozzle. There were 5 cars lined up so had to stop in a no standing zone while we checked in. We got a parking garage code (for a fee) but when we entered the garage we found no empty spots and 4 other cars circling inside trying to find one. we stopped in another no standing zone and walked back to reception who said "there are a lot of people arriving" and directed us to another pay parking garage which would "cost the same". After spending 10 minutes downloading software we finally got parked and returned to the hotel. When checking out they had not removed the original parking fee AND the one we were force to use was actually $21 more expensive which they would not refund (they did remove the original fee). If going there make sure you arrange for pre paid parking at one of the many nearby parking garages which will be much cheaper and save a lot of time.

Room could have been cleaner. Found a stray pistachio shell on the floor and it was very dusty under the bed. A strange methane odor from the water taps in the bathroom and for $35 buffet breakfast really would expect a fully functioning coffee machine. But, it’s an incredible location - especially for Tivoli / Showgrounds gigs and there’s a heap of cool food / drinking options nearby. Stock standard hotel in a great location - no serious complaints.
