We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Lucent. Cassandra checked us in and was super helpful. We didn’t spend much time in room because we came here for a concert. We like getting our steps in so we walked into town, which was super cute. We also walked home from concert and we felt safe. We enjoyed the late check out so we slept in instead of getting up for breakfast.

Nice stay!

We enjoyed our stay. Very friendly front desk staff, Mark in particular. A little noisy at night, possibly a compressor or working on some type of equipment. The soap in the bathroom was very small, and there were no coffee sticks to stir the coffee.
