Liberty Apartment Hotel

Liberty Apartment Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The room was squeaky clean, tidy, the bed was super comfy and the kitchen was clean and with all you could need - a microwave, a kettle, even two hobs and an extractor fan. Overnight parking was only $7 on a separate parking lot across the street. We were even allowed to bring our dog with us, which make such a difference. We'll stay again and highly recommend it."
