Always very clean and all staff is very efficient and friendly. Sherri (front desk) is such an assest to this establishment. She's been there for years and it shows that she loves her job.

Do not stay here they charge you extra

Property charged us an extra $200 stating we broke a chair. We were barely even in the room the entire stay and we definitely didn’t break any furniture. They’re just trying to do some shady business here and take advantage of peoples hard earned money!

Very convenient to historic district sites. Clean and generally comfortable rooms. The “spring break” college crowd made the nights very noisy for sleeping. Bring earplugs.
