Peaks Hotel & Suites

Peaks Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good
"Nice hotel with clean, modern rooms. However, all of the amenities are shared with the hotel across the street, and parking underneath the hotel costs extra. For the price, I expected more. The room itself was nice, but the overall experience didn’t justify the rate. You’re essentially paying a premium for a hotel that offers fewer amenities and conveniences than you’d expect"
