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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
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.

The room was fine, bed a bit soft. The bathroom floor and shower tlles looked like they could use a good scrubbing. It was noisy, from the train, people coming and going to the bars/restaurants nearby and the hotel hallway. We knew something was up when we saw that there were earplugs in the room. We would not stay here again.
