Hotel Van Zandt

Hotel Van Zandt

5/5 Excellent
"Overall, stay was phenomenal, staff was accommodating and friendly. Hotel offerings included a welcome beverage, a free happy hour beverage, free coffee from the cafe in the morning. Option to not have your room cleaned for credit on your stay. As well as a $10 food & Bev credit per day. There is construction in the area but they provide noise cancelling machines and earplugs but we only turned the machine on once so wasn’t bad at all. Really great vibe going on around the hotel with Rainy street right around the corner and there are a lot of things to walk to. We are already looking forward to staying here again!"
