"I arrived around 11am, and I told the young man at the desk that I knew I was too early to check in, but I was wondering if I could leave my bag there while I went to grab lunch and wait for the check in time. He asked me to hold on, and then he said there was a room available! I was not expecting that at all and especially on Labor Day weekend. It’s a really cute hotel, and it really is located in the perfect spot. It’s in the middle of everything without being right in the middle of everything. I would definitely stay here again!"
