Little America Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice pool and 2 hot tubs!!! Food in the cafe was very good and reasonably priced. Friendly staff."

The Grand America Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful"

University Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"We were surprised that this guest house was right next to the university and at first we said...Oh No! Are we going to be staying in a dorm?? But the staff (and they looked like students) were extremely sweet and they helped us find good places to eat nearby. Plus the place and the room were spotless and the guest house is located on a previous fort, so there are lots of beautiful older homes and small parks right there so it was a lovely area to explore and we felt very safe. It was located close to major sites and the included breakfast was also a great plus. I would really recommend it."
