We enjoyed our stay at the Overlook on King. The property itself is in a great location in walking distance to the city, you can tell how new the property is in all the rooms were very, very clean were your basic toiletries in every bathroom. We really liked the layout of all the bedrooms on one floor and the living/kitchen area above. And there’s not really any neighbors to worry about.Property management was great. We had a issue with the code at first, but it was handled immediately and property management answers promptly. Would highly recommend for any groups

Beautiful space
This property is beautiful and well designed for a large group. It is close to shopping and restaurants. The only thing I would say that made the stay less than perfect was the noise and pandemonium from the large construction project directly across the street.
