Top Central Square Hotel Reviews

The Revolution Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed in a loft on the side of the main hotel, and it was extremely spacious with all the amenities I needed. It was definitely worth the price, especially given the beautiful area it’s located in. I didn’t interact much with the staff, but the few interactions I had were very pleasant. I would definitely stay here again."
