Sharon D, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We walked to the historic district even though it’s 35 minutes away. It was great weather and we discovered lots of places along the way. The hotel itself was immaculate and has such great staff that are so very helpful. The pool is small but nice for a few laps to cool off.

Great staff Very friendly
Warner, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff were extremely helpful, friendly and made us feel welcomed. The location was ideal for our needs. We were in walking distance from a great restaurant, our view was incredible, we were no more than a 10 to 15 minute drive from anywhere we wanted to go, the lobby was beautifully decorated and smells amazing and our room was very clean. The only down side was the room was rather small, the bathroom and shower were extremely small and the mattresses left a lot to be desired.
Sylvia, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We have stayed there several times. It's clean, close to town, has free parking, and it has a nice view on the roof.
