"Best Little Hotel in the South!"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
These folks have embodied the tradition of Southern Hospitality in this little hotel. From the front desk to the kitchen staff everyone was friendly and courteous and at the same time very efficient. The aesthetics of the restored old building transports the guest to a bygone era yet the food from the restaurant is cutting edge. Overall, it was a fantastic experience.
