The Loom Hotel, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

The Loom Hotel, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent
"We loved how unique this property was compared to others we’ve stayed at- the modern industrial style still felt very cozy and comfortable. The bed was super comfy. Everything was clean. The room was spacious(we had a standard king). We booked this last minute due to a problem with the hotel we had already booked. So happy we found this gem and would definitely stay at The Loom again. The only negative was the parking. It filled up very quickly due to being totally booked."
