We really enjoyed our stay and staff made excellent recommendations for dinner and places to see. The bar offers fresh juice of local fruits in the lobby for all hours. Nice for Uber access and near the trolley pick up spot and Regent street which offers many food choices.

Room wasn’t what I expected in that is was small and smelly. It’s not bad just not a normal 4-5 star experience and I thought Fable was this.
