Where to Stay
Finding the right place to stay can shape an entire trip. We look for hotels and inns that feel comfortable, well located, and fairly priced for what they offer. Sometimes that’s a boutique stay with charm, other times it’s a simple, reliable spot that makes everything easier.
We pay attention to the details that matter once you arrive: noise, beds, staff, walkability, parking, and whether the photos match real life. If something felt off, we’ll say so. And if we’d happily book a place again, you’ll know that too.
Use these reviews to compare options, get a sense of neighborhoods, and decide which stay fits the kind of trip you want to have.
