"This is our 2nd time staying here, our 1st was for a wedding held there last year. It was great & we stayed in a renovated room. Amazing & we will be back. Rooms were spacious, very clean, & amazing room. We decided to splurge & upgrade to a lakeside view. Check in was easy, great area, & love that they can hold baggage as well after you check out. Lastly great sleep! Bed was very comfy & pillows were amazing. Until next time"

10/10 Excellent
"L7 is centrally located and is the perfect hotel for exploring the city. Easy access to everything. Clean property and more boutique and small compared to the larger hotels, which I prefer. The staff was amazing. So very friendly - especially Alex at the front desk. It was so nice that he was the first person we met because he set the tone for a wonderful trip. He answered every question and was so pleasant and helpful. He truly took great care of us! I look forward to coming back!"
