We stayed here for our wedding and it was so perfect. We walked to the courthouse and so many stores and restaurants nearby we didn’t have to drive anywhere. The hotel was great. Staff is so friendly (Chole was amazing) the room was beautiful, the complimentary wine and coffee was great. The bar was great. All the food and drinks were so delicious. We will be coming back for our anniversary.
