Lovers Point Inn

8/10 Good
"A bit dated could use updating. Carpet wore. The worst part of the place is parking. If you don’t get to rooms early you won’t get a parking out side of building that has about 10-15 spaces. Then you’re stuck to park in basement parking and you better only have a compact car. Tight parking with that and you have to turn around at the end that we had to work around a pole to get out. And if a car parks behind you you may not get out. The rest of the place is ok"
