The hotel is very old with outside corridors and very noisy. Room was clean, but needs lots of repair done. We went to their breakfast and they were out of everything. Wait for 10 minutes and they never replenish anything, had to checkout and go elsewhere to eat.

Place seems a bit outdated. The leather couch in our room was tearing apart. Housekeeping put lotion in the soap dispenser. But front desk was able to give me a bar soap for that. The blinds were not opaque that if I close it during the day, I would not know it would be daytime. But when I opened them at night, the streetlight and other building lights would be very glaring as it is. next to a Wendy's and other stores. I chose this location because of the proximity to the tournament site.
