The day hotel was announced in Middleton we thought it was a genius of an idea. Bring in large tournaments, parents book hotel room right next to event. Park car once, walk to event, restaurants, grocery, back to the hotel, multiple time in the day. Because anyone who kid played competitive sports, knows your entire weekend is jammed pack with schedules that barely allowed parents to grab decent food, much less take a nap in the car because you have to be back in an hour.

No worries of their kids finding a ride to and from event because little brother has a different game time. Older kids can watch that next game, with team, while parents take a break.

It’s like Disney keep them on property, make all their dreams come true, and make a profit. Best idea ever.
Spot on! Exactly why it is being built and also the close proximity to Eastport - two hotels that can serve the school events and when not occupied by the school uses it will help with overflow from Eastport events. Dual purpose that benefit both venues, smart planning.
