Lovers Point Inn

Lovers Point Inn

8/10 Good
"I needed a quiet and safe place to sleep at night while I was helping family, and Lover's Point Inn fit the bill. I could see that other units on my floor had been renovated with vinyl planks and blackout curtains. Mine had not been worked on yet, and still had carpet and curtains that let in the light outside. I was glad I had brought a mask. The tub/shower was clean and updated. I loved the windows that would actually open!!!! Parking is tricky if you get in after 6pm. There are some places in front of the hotel, but when those are full, you need to go to the underground parking. It is well lit and I felt safe in it. But it is narrow and has no exit; you have to turn around and go out the entrance. I needed to do an about eight point turn to get reversed. The staff is super helpful, kind, I really liked them all. I believe I will stay there again."
