Top Fairgrounds Hotel Reviews

The Brown Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice old classic hotel. Friendly staff mostly. Clean room, nice robes. Great piano player at the hotel bar/restaurant area. The "Hot Brown" was as good as advertised by locals. Ice machine on our floor not working. Make up mirror mounted very high on the bathroom wall and not height adjustable. No power outlets on one side of the bed and limited on the other. This area of town seemed to be popular with the homeless, but the hotel was secure. No free parking in this city. All street and garage spaces are pay."
