"We really enjoyed our stay at the HOGG. The property has a fun, quirky character that gives it a personality of its own, which we appreciated. The private onsite parking was a major convenience, and the location made it easy to walk to nearby restaurants, bars, and other sights. We enjoyed being able to explore the area on foot and then come back to such a unique and comfortable place. We would gladly stay here again."
