Really bummed that for the thunder event we didn’t get to access the area to watch it, it’s actually why we rented the room, but it was a great stay!

The Duke Hotel
This is a very difficult place to stay if you have luggage. It’s on the second floor. You have to carry all your stuff up. There is no parking our room had a Murphy’s bed and the bathroom and shower was despicable.
