Hammetts Hotel
The hotel is beautiful and perfectly located. Staff is great. Lobby has games, gym is tiny but has a nice view and was fun to use. Some things to note: There is no bar or restaurant actually attached the hotel so no food options. Guisto is next door but not a part of the hotel and opens at 4 or 5pm. ...
