You Could Do Worse

I enjoyed staying at the Leo for3 nights but it was nothing stupendous.The front desk personnel were the best. They were very friendly and helpful. I had one of the histirical rooms and they are very small, barely room to turn around in the bathroom. The room was clean but the bathroom could have used some chalking around the tub and rust renmoval. The bed was very comfortable. The clock in the room did not work. I was most unhappy that the restaurant was only open on the weekend and no breakfast was included. They are however central to many restaurants and we had many good meals while there. Most restaurants are however, not open on Mondays or Tuesdays but we searched and found. Also very central to parks, arboratuems and museums.

First time staying here it’s a historical building. Great location downtown. The only real gripe I had was the beds are practically on the floor, so getting into bed and out of bed was kind of a pain in the ass The hotel staff were great(Caleb and my morning guy who I forgot his name) very accommodating helped me out with my stay
