"The hotel stay was perfect. The room was clean and comfortable. Location was perfect - we needed to be near the convention center and we were just 5 minutes away. Would stay here again."

10/10 Excellent
"i absolutely loved this place ! so cozy & a great place to just disconnect from the world . went during the winter time & the campfire worked wonderfully , as well as the heat/AC inside the cabin . the area was a little scary at night since there’s no streetlights but the comfort of this place made me feel very safe so no complaints here . & of course the staff was super helpful & had great hospitality (thank you Dominick !) & definitely somewhere i will be visiting again soon !
