Then, quick photo stop outside the Excalibur Hotel. This is where we start connecting the dots between themes, positioning, and real value. Why do some places look appealing but aren’t worth your time, while others overdeliver? We’ll also share a few fun personal stories connected to this unique medieval-themed hotel.
