Our stay at FairBridge Inn was very pleasant. Front desk staff was courteous and accommodating. The room was clean, bed was comfortable. However, no wash cloths were provided. The grounds are welcoming and kept up nicely. The room rate is cost friendly. I would recommend FairBridge to all my friends.
