Parking Update for Women’s Championships

Parking Update – Please Read Before Arrival for the DoubleTree by Hilton Battle Creek (50 Capital Avenue)


Per agreement with the Battle Creek Convention Bureau, all bowlers will have parking included in their room rate and will get in and out of the ramp using their room key for free.  


However, if there is an event happening at the Kellogg Arena, ABM Parking may ask for payment upon arrival.


In order for hotel guests to receive the free parking, it’s important that you follow these instructions:

  • Upon entering the Hamblin Avenue Ramp, please inform the Parking Attendant you are a guest of the hotel 
  • You may be given a GOLD colored ticket and will not be required to pay the attendant. 


If you have any questions, you can reach out to the hotel before your arrival. 

The reservation link for tournament entries has expired.

Please call the office at
