THE best hotel!!!

THE best hotel we stayed at. Staff = excellent. Breakfast = excellent. Room = excellent. Not one bad thing to say at all.
Sandy A, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent location! Less than a 10 minute walk to the Public Market in the Historic Third District and a 15 minute walk to The Brat House bar beside the Bucs arena. The Brat House is a bar amongst others on LMKing that provides free shuttles to Brewers games. Hotel had an excellent complimentary breakfast with coffee, eggs, cereal, hot cakes and so on. The hotel was a fraction of the price compared to others. I would stay here again! Comfy beds and quiet.
Mauro, 2-night trip

It was a very nice and clean hotel. The breakfast was really good with more options than you normally see. Would definitely stay again!
