Lovers Point Inn

8/10 Good
"The property is in a great location! Our room was right in front of the elevator on the first floor and it was quite noisy. The front desk was very friendly and kindly moved us. I would recommend staying on a higher floor. Overall I think it’s a great budget friendly inn."
