“I rested well at Pope's Bridge after long days exploring the city. The location was quiet and the bed comfortable. The shower with two showerheads was a nice touch. The complimentary fruit juices in the minibar were a bonus, and I loved having a coffee machine and tea maker. Breakfast at the nearby coffee shop was delicious, especially the fresh blood-orange juice and croissants.”
