The room was fine and the breakfast was ok, although the eggs were dreadful and seemed powdered. However the front desk employees specifically told us to park in the carpark next to the hotel, which has NO CONNECTION to the hotel, and caused us unnecessary delays. Please advise them when someone asks if the Arena Carpark is connected to the hotel that it is NOT.
