Hotel Leo

"This is a very unique property. The hotel is extremely well updated and renovated while maintaining the original charm of the property. The rooms are wonderful. Our only complaint was the noise as there was a wedding at the property one night. Earplugs were thoughtfully provided, however! The addition of the bar - and a superb bar tender, Mossy, made the experience elevated. I would stay here again!"
