Hotel Abrego

10/10 Excellent

"My friend and I arrived really late, like 11:50pm. The property was easy to find, quiet, and there were a few parking spaces left behind the building inside the hotel property. There was a little issue but the staff addressed it super professionally and kindly. The bath robes were a huge plus and water pressure amazing!! Cute working fireplace made it cozy. The breakfast was just delicious!!! I don’t care for free breakfast because they tend to be all sugar and plastic but they really had it down. AMAZING sausages, fluffy scrambled eggs with pepper jack cheese on top and breakfast potatoes!! It was like we were at a brunch restaurant and REAL silverware showed care for the guests and the environment. It was a girls trip after we started empty nesting and this hotel helped the start of our trip on the right foot. Definitely visit again."
