The Location is the best location close to everything. Everything was super great except the room did have a mold smell to it that was overpowering. I didn’t let it get to me as much due to my family being out until it was time to go to sleep. I noticed the bathrooms didn’t have an air vent.

Decent but not great hotel for a volleyball tourna

He stayed at this hotel for a volleyball tournament. The room was very spacious and the location was convenient, but the room smelled musty and the popcorn ceiling debris was on the bed. The linens are not very nice but the hotel staff was. Parking was difficult and we had to park along the sidewalk. They said they don’t tow, but it was difficult to find a spot even on the sidewalk.

The layout of the suite was really nice, and the kitchen area was all you really needed. The air conditioning was a little inconsistent, in that one bedroom was too warm, the other too cold. The common area was nice to sit and talk.
