The Business Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The entire hotel is immaculately clean, even the books and crannies where dirt usually accumulates were spotless! The room had been recently renovated, though the hallways and stairs are quite dated. The room was quiet, the neighborhood is walkable, and the breakfast was plentiful and hot. 100% will stay there again."
