Great old time look like what one might imagine an older southern large house would feel like. Locals patronize the bar and it's a genuine small town vibe. Room was on the small side but quite nice. Quaint common areas to hangout in. Keep in mind if you book on Expedia it's essentially a reservation and you have to pay when you get to the hotel.

Kenneth

Do not select a superior room. The room should have been labeled “Inferior Room”. The king bed was very comfortable, but they crammed it into a room with barely any room to move around. There was 18” between the bed and the wall, 12” between the end of the bed and the dresser which made it nearly impossible to open the drawers and the blinds were poorly installed such that you could see around the blinds and into the room. Additionally the light on the outside porch was on all night, and with the poorly installed blinds, it was like sleeping with the lights on.

Stay was excellent in this inn. Everything was spectacular from the cleanliness to its rustic appearance. The only solitary thing I can say is that we received a room next to the main stairwell that received much foot traffic.

Gorgeous stay

Lovely place. Our actual room was small but the bath was huge with two shower heads in the shower. The availability of additional porches, parlors and the lobby give you plenty of places to enjoy the lovely inn. We’ll be back. The only drawback, the restaurant staff was overwhelmed. I hope they get that sorted out.

Great location

Located just outside the center of town your room is still quiet. The property is old but renovated. My only caution would be that is you are concerned about walking there are no elevators. Our second story room was somewhat challenging to get to. The front desk offered help but I refused. I probably would have taken it if I knew how mant steps were involved.

Most things were pretty good about our stay, it was clean, close to a lot of things to do, and located in what felt like a safe area. My only problems were we got charged 16$ for 2 water bottles that we did not ever see or request in anyway. We also called a day ahead and asked about early check in and were told as long as the room was ready we could check in but we we arrived early we were told the room was ready but it would be a 50$ charge for any check in before 3pm. And the final issue was the rooms were not sound proof and we were located right by the entrance and could hear people come and go and doors open and close all night.

Check in stunk. There was no one at desk for 30 minutes to help. We were so tired. The manager finally came and found someone. He did give us a free drink for the trouble. The property is lovely except for construction. It's a great location. We paid big bucks for 2 rooms, at least have one free bottle of water and more than 1 coffee pod and no stir stick. I had to use my toothbrush for the morning. Saturday night and the bar closing at 10 pm did not make us happy. .

Beautiful place

We would stay again would also recommend to friends. Very clean. Quite at night. However was under a construction so there were noises in morning. The place is clean. Parking is around the out skirt of the buildings. First come first serve. No parking garage. Front desk needs a map to show new people like us arriving late at night so we know where to look for our buildings. And the name of the building needs to be visible. Ours happened to be behind the bushes. Lol. But we found it after driving around the building a second round.
