I have been to the area many times but this was my first stay here. This was by far my most favorite place to stay. It was so clean, quiet, perfectly located, and an amazing court yard. It has a common area with many extras available and you can sit in the beautiful courtyard listening to the crows and just feel the history around you. This will most definitely be my place to stay anytime I return in the future. 10/10 recommend to experience this stay.

When hunting for a place to stay, it is many times a crap shoot. Most place are OK, while some not so much. We were fortunate to find this place. From location to service we were very impressed. Fun place,great rooms, attentive staff made this trip a memory. I would recommend any room at Louis Park. Each has its own charm. Not being a seasoned traveler, others might have a different feel. I myself will be returning. Thanks to all.
