My daughter and I stayed at this property during her volleyball tournament at the Classic Center. No need to drive anywhere because the hotel is within walking distance to many restaurants, shopping and most importantly the Classic Center.

Our stay was nice, the room was comfortable and the staff was accommodating. The hotel is a little confusing to find and the elevator was not readily visible in the parking deck. There should probably be some verbiage on the site about locating the elevator. Other than that everything was great!
