The Snug Townhouse
Staff really nice, great location (though I can see why the reviews say it can be loud). Room so small you couldn’t swing a cat in there, but for the price that’s not a complaint. Would be pretty small for two people sharing though! Definitely “snug”. The shower was AMAZING! For price and location ...

The Galmont
Great breakfest buffet and breakfast manager was accomodating. slightly off the beaten track, but property more than makes up for it. Hot tub jets on off process seems ridiculous

Menlo Park Hotel
The staff were wonderful. The construction was the only downside. I would stay there again.
