The Liberty Trust
Parking was okay, did not have the chance to enjoy the breakfast. Wish there was a fitness center on the property.

The Promissory Hotel
Big room with separate sitting area. Very clean and new. Only suggestion would be to add an iron and ironing board in the room. The hand steamer I borrowed from the reception desk worked fine - thanks.
