10/10 Excellent

"We had a staycation here for 4th of July weekend. So I understand the crowds, but the pool was maxed out the entire time, it was on the smaller side for this size hotel. A little noisy just due to location. This hotel was walking distance to s congress, auditorium shores and right in the middle of downtown. The taco service inside was amazing. Coffee shop was reasonable. Thanks for the memories!"

Colton House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful space and spacious room."
