We were in town for an event at a nearby hotel. Taylors Version was a perfect place to stay to be close to the event but still have our own quiet place to relax. The recommended restaurants were great, we went to the BBQ place and loved it. Our daughter enjoyed the scavenger hunt and getting rewarded with a friendship bracelet and a sticker. I was thankful to do a load of laundry so we didn’t have sweaty sticky clothes in the car for our long drive home. All in all it was a great place and was perfect for our needs.
Hopefully we will be able to stay there again next year.
It’s a little too girly for my husband and son a lot of pink and I had no idea what Swifty meant but it did exactly what we needed and that was a place to stay roof over our head and my son and I absolutely loved the scavenger hunt but he was disappointed because they were just girly tattoos. Nothing there there boys
