I was very disappointed in the value for money at Hotel Leo. Staff and public spaces are good, but room itself was horrible for $371. Old stuffy carpet, white walls with black painted wall heaters and an ultra soft platform bed straight from Ikea. Horrible use of money. The bathroom had a nice tile shower but discoloration in the grout in areas. Decor was bare and minimal. We ended up leaving and not staying the night. I will give it to Hotel Leo, they did give a small compensation which I was pleasantly surprised. With listening to the train periodically and listening to the homeless fighting, I did not care for the experience at all. I would not recommend staying here.

The room and hotel in general was fantastic. It’s absolutely beautiful. The photos do not do the rooms justice, it was extremely spacious (king sized bed, sofa bed w/ kitchen) and meticulously maintained. The hotel staff even sent me a text the day prior to ask if I would need anything or if they could make up the sofa bed for me. I have traveled pretty extensively for someone my age and I have never had that happen before- even from very expensive hotel chains. My overall word for this experience and place, would be charming. Absolutely loved our stay for a girls night out, and if we plan to do it again this will be my first choice to stay! Thank you!

Pretty, historic hotel. Clean. Comfy bed. The basement has a library, theatre, laundry, and shuffle board (all in separate rooms). Friendly staff. Warm cookies at the front desk. On a Thursday night there was a book signing event and live music in the bar. The cocktails were great. Lots of restuarants and shops within walking distance. Relaxed, friendly vibe. We would stay here everytime. I wish more hotels were this great.

The staff are lovely and the room clean and tidy, and I love the retro feel and lower cost of the "historical" wing of accommodations. Notes: It's 2026 and even every flophouse motel now has a charger brick with USB B & C for our precious phones - this is a must. The pointy edges of the bed's platform are a major bruising hazard. The naked lightbulbs in the bedside lamps are hard on the eyes - if you're going shadeless, use a kinder bulb. Otherwise everything's very nice even at this most "budget" level the Leo offers!

Bar restaurant/lounge had musicians playing live. The food was very good. Parking was good. The bed was comfortable, but sat way too low for my wife and I, both in our sixties. The only way to heat the bathroom was the run the shower on hottest setting 15 mins before stepping into it. The heating unit did not distribute heat throughout the room. We had to be in close proximity to get the benefit. Staff were very friendly and professional.
