The Chase Park Plaza is the finest hotel in our region. The rooms are cavernous and will accommodate player’s needs to relax, rest, recharge, entertain themselves, and luxuriate in a first class house with first class appointments. The suites are large and luxurious but do not mirror newer built cookie cutter rooms with side-by-side double beds. Two players to a room will in some cases require the players to alternate evenings in the bedroom and sitting room portions of their suite. Please indicate roommate choices on your tournament registration. The tournament will make all hotel reservations. Please utilize our registration process for any special needs.
