I have to agree w/another reviewer in that our check-in, too was a bumpy start. We went to visit the quaint town for a long weekend with friends. Our friends checked in first and they had a problem in that although the hotel offered them an upgrade, it was for 2 double beds and not for a king bed, as... More

This place is nice on the inside, and the room was decent enough. That said, it was a really bumpy stay. Numerous calls to front desk weren't answered (trying to get wake-up call); breakfast service in the morning doesn't start until 7:45am (according to the door-hanging menu) -- that's too late for me. But, the really inexcusable screw up was... More

This is an excellent hotel. It has a certain Southern charm about it and the staff are wonderful in terms of efficiency and hospitality. Our room was excellent and probably the most comfortable bed I have slept in for many a year. The TV's (I know this isn't important to many) were state of the art. But above all it's... More

This hotel does have a great location and an old-fashioned feel. The valet service really made our trip. We were traveling with my grandmother, who needs some assistance getting around, and they were so helpful. We loved that they would give us bottles of water as we were leaving for the day, and were always very quick and extremely friendly.... More

Hotel is such a great location to get around the city. Right next to the market and local restaurants. Staff was very accomodating and had excellent suggestions on where to eat and what to do around town. Room was clean and spacious.

The hotel is right across from the market, one block from Meeting. The location was perfect. We walked everywhere. Check-in was a breeze. There are two parts to the hotel. There are a bunch of rooms in the main hotel (elevators near check-in) and then there are more rooms through a courtyard. My room was in the other part of... More

If you're looking for luxury accommodations this isn't the place but it is a nice, clean hotel in a great location for a fair price. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Walking distance to many restaurants and shops. I would definitely stay here again.

WAY over priced for the rooms. Rooms are very inadequate for adults without children. Urine stains on sheets. Front desk personell are rude. Valet parking personell should give lessons to the remaining staff about customer service !!
