Hotel Van Zandt

Hotel Van Zandt

10/10 Excellent
"Great hotel with friendly and relaxed vibe. Front desk staff always helpful. Excellent bar and restaurant. Didn’t get to use pool area but it looks a good spot for relaxation. The bars of Rainey Street are on the doorstep and it is an easy walk or uber to other downtown locations."
