We went out of our way to stay here after two years on our way to North Carolina. We love it so much the only problems that we ran into were the breakfast taking a very long time for some simple items and the server wasn’t super friendly, but we had dinner there and drinks and we got bumped from a deluxe queen double to a king room and they gave us two free drink vouchers and free breakfast which made up for it so it was great overall

Everything was lovely, our only suggestion would be to add a full length mirror behind the room door. That was the only item missing.
