Fast ballgame weekend

Came for a weekend ball game and thoroughly enjoyed the stay and hotel. Very clean, well decorated and in a prime location to see all the vintage car scene on Sundays. Food and pool were amazing, nothing but good things to say about hotel staff, room decor, bathroom, and bed. All was great. Loved the restaurant and patio areas.
