Large room with quirky decor (shabby chic?) was clean and quiet. The helpfulness and friendliness of the staff, particularly "Shy" (who was not shy) made this a five star experience.

The place is fine. We needed the pull out sofa bed and it was horribly uncomfortable. Restaurant on site is average at best. Rooms are nice but our shower head was falling out of the wall, door to enter hotel from garage was broken...it just needs a little TLC.

The staff/hotel dropped the ball by not informing its guests that there would be a running race on Saturday morning which would leave guests stranded. We checked out at 8am but were stranded on Kenan St with no way out for an hour and a half. Thank God we did not have a flight to catch, but our plans to get out of town were disrupted. Had we known, we could have left earlier. Left a poor taste after an otherwise great stay.
