Outstanding staff. Everyone was friendly, customer focused and very helpful with recommendations and overall assistance. While the room was small, it was clean with a decent sized bathroom. We also enjoyed have an evening take out meal in the lovely patio. Would certainly stay there again.

Really enjoyed our 4 nights at the French Market Inn. Staff was very friendly and the hotel is very charming and clean. Room was comfortable and you can’t beat the location on Decatur which is more quiet but close to everything you want to walk to. Will be back!
