I usually don’t do Expedia reviews, but I wanted to for this stay! The young lady at the check in desk was enthusiastic, quick, and seemed genuinely happy for us to be here. The room is very charming and comfortable. The bed was comfortable. We stayed in July, and the AC was comfortable. Haha! I love that the rooms were arranged around the old house, not in a straight line like a typical hotel. There were charming little sitting areas and a cute outdoor courtyard. Definitely recommend!
