Top Great Explorations Children's Museum Hotel Reviews

Hollander Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect!"

GALAXY HOTEL

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel and staff, clean rooms and all the basic amenities you need. Bed was soft and comfortable and location was great."

The Cordova Inn, a New Hotel Collection Property

8/10 Good

"The Cordova Inn is a sweet property; very clean & new. Downstairs amenities are very inviting and the bartender, Austin, was friendly & very helpful. The space is quite tight and gets loud easily, but the front porch offers additional seating if the weather is cooperating. The rooftop bar is going to be amazing once it is staffed and open; loads of space and a view of the city. Room is a good size, very clean, nice up-to-date bathroom but sparsely decorated so it feels a bit sterile. All in all, we would stay here again"
