Great location! We walked the historic area and visited the farmers market on Saturday morning. Nice, clean accomodations and yummy breakfast bar. My compliments on your Southern hospitality! We came in late at night in a thunderstorm. The front desk hostess offered to move her car so we could park closer to the entrance. Thank you so much!
