Acron Game

To attend an athletic event. Room great, staff very good, continental breakfast very good. BUT the room came with ear plugs. WOW, they were really needed too. So much road noise!!! All most all night too. This would be an awesome hotel if I were “very” hard of hearing…..

Great location for food, terrible for sleep.

Hotel is nice and within walking distance to many restaurants and shops. HOWEVER, if you'd like a good night's sleep- you won't get it here. Not the hotel's fault, but ...the street racing that started at 9:30 and went until 2or 3.... I had ear plugs in and still couldn't sleep. The roaring engines were so loud. It was awful. I was taljing in the phone and the person on the other end could hear it!

I liked the cleanliness of the room and the climate control. I also liked the large breakfast in the morning. I disliked the following. I couldn't figure out how to use the television as it asked for a USB. Also there was a gap in the door to my hotel room.

P

Parking situation was a little strange. We pd $10 parking fee and parked in a 2story parking garage across the street from our Hotel! The garage was easy to get to but the stalls were very tight and markings were nonvisable. Noone knew where to park. One poor lady got blocked in. 2nd level was accessed by 2 large flights of sketchy cement stairs. Definately NOT handicap accessible, luckily it wasnt a problem for us but could see alot of problems with that setup. In all fairness They do have another parking garage but it was underground and not connected to hotel either. Staff, amenities, breakfast, coffee and pool were great.
