Hotel Lucia

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed this property. The staff were so nice and gave dining recommendations. There was a complimentary happy hour in the lobby from 5-6pm. The room was comfortable. There is valet parking but I found my own directly across the street. The property is in a good location and walkable. Two things I would improve if given the chance are a bigger bathroom counter space and better shower water pressure."
