Hotel and staff were great. Only issue was a broken water pipe created some closures to amenities we were expecting and looking forward too. No fault of the hotel just a disappointment to have bar and restaurant, plus social area closed. We will try to venture back to Hotel Leo next summer and hope to experience all the extras we missed out on this time.

It was a nice space but the lobby smelled bad and a huge pipe burst so the whole hotel lost water overnight and we couldn't use the bathroom or shower until like 1030am. Not the hotels fault and they did get it fixed pretty quickly, but didn't make for the best stay. Staff was friendly
