Suite hotels near Metro Ice Sports Facility

Brands where every room is a suite, inside a 15-minute drive. Room layouts vary: ask before you book for four.

Before the team books

  • Ask your event if it is stay-to-play, and whether a team block already exists.
  • Call the hotel about breakfast hours: 7 a.m. games often start before the buffet opens.
  • Ask about parking for team vans or trailers, and a late checkout on the last day.
  • Ask the front desk where wet gear can dry overnight: hockey bags and a small room don't mix.
