Hotel 1928

10/10 Excellent

"Had a wonderful time at Hotel 1928. I was surprised that there wasn’t an area to get ice; however, the receptionist at the front desk was more than willing to go get us some ice. The hotel serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the Basserie restaurant. The dinner was good, but the dinner was pricey and the portion servings were small. I had the roasted chicken and for thirty-one dollars that was all I got. The seasoned vegetables were not edible for they were meant to be garnishments."

"The front desk staff was the same person to check us in and out the next morning. She was very personable and nice. The room was very clean and had all that we needed for our stay.
