Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
When hunting for a place to stay, it is many times a crap shoot. Most place are OK, while some not so much. We were fortunate to find this place. From location to service we were very impressed. Fun place,great rooms, attentive staff made this trip a memory. I would recommend any room at Louis Park. Each has its own charm. Not being a seasoned traveler, others might have a different feel. I myself will be returning. Thanks to all.
