Saint Kate - The Arts Hotel
Spacious room, comfortable bed. Love that when you check in they give you a glass of wine. The bar downstairs is a vibe and stays busy but did not disturb the quietness when I was in my room. Loved the art area in the hotel, I got to meet a local artist. This hotel is located near a lot of restaurants ...
