Bottleworks Hotel
The hotel was clean and had a great smell - so great we bought a bottle of room spray to take home. The history of the building was amazing and the way they featured the history of the bottling plant into the design of the hotel was top notch. I highly recommend and would love to stay here ...

Omni Severin Hotel
This has been one of the best hotel stays that we have had in a while! The staff were so genuine and helpful. Javier’s communication was excellent. The room was nice and clean, the bed was comfy and the shower was perfect! The one downside was the pool said it was heated and it was not.
