I *love* the Walper! Everything about it is great. From the check in experience (text message to welcome & inform about parking) and the room design, to the amenities nearby… It honestly feels more like an “experience” than a regular hotel stay. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Shout out to Sahil in the hotel restaurant; he’s suuuuuch a helpful and thoughtful server, we had a great meal there! I’ll definitely be staying at the Walper any time I am in the K-W area ☺️
