Hu. Hotel
We really enjoyed our stay at the HU. Very clean, comfy beds, staff was really friendly and welcoming. They also gave us suggestions on places we might like to eat. We loved the location of the HU. It was very close to a lot of restaurants and things to do. We would definitely stay there again.
