Hotel Duval

T had a great first week of school so in what is quickly becoming a tradition for us, we are celebrating by spending the night at a hotel. (See our adventure at Tallahassee's Aloft last year here and here.)

Today we'll check in to Hotel Duval. This newly renovated hotel opened last October on Monroe Street in downtown Tallahassee. I visited Shula's restaurant and Level 8 lounge (both in the hotel) not long after it opened, but this will be my first chance to see the rooms, and get the whole Hotel Duval experience. Luckily there is also a third restaurant in the hotel, LeRoc, which features more casual lighter options than Shula's (which is a steakhouse).
