The Walper Hotel, part of JdV by Hyatt
The hotel reminds me of artsy hotels in Europe. It is extremely clean, comfortable and stylish. Staff are very friendly and go above and beyond to help. The only issue is parking - reserve your spot ahead of your visit if you want 1 of the 7 spots allocated behind the hotel.
