CopperLeaf Boutique Hotel & Spa, BW Premier Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Parking at the hotel is a parking garage just behind the hotel. The area was well lit and appeared safe. Check in at the hotel was quick and the receptionist was friendly. The room we stayed in was clean was very comfortable. Large tile shower with great water pressure (which sadly is becoming harder to find). Overall, I will stay here again on my next visit to Appleton. "
