Hu. Hotel
"This Hotel was very disappointing to say the least. The overall location is a plus and within walking distance to a lot. I have never in my life stayed in a hotel that rations towels. Not that we asked for extra, but to just get a fresh set of towels per person in your room daily is a feat in itself!!! ..."
