"Cold a/c in room with very nice bathroom! Very friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely stay here again. Very convenient to lots of activity, food, and fun downtown! "

"Wow...so much bad here. I read all the bad reviews but gave it a shot for a last minute pet-friendly stay. Check-in: First, while I do have a large dog (german shepherd), they say everywhere that you can bring any dog or cat for $10 extra a night. Because of the size of the dog, they wanted to raise the price to $25 extra per night. I push back on this a good bit because that is nearly a night's worth extra. She lowered it to $20 after he and her husband or father argued about it. I was told there was no longer a first floor room (which I reserved) and had to take a 2nd floor room. No elevator or help at all there so was a struggle. As I walk up the stairs it smells strong of the family's body odor and cigarettes (even though its a smoke free property...) Stay: Over 3 days of keeping count, I killed 12 roaches in my room. They are obviously breeding in the walls. Old smelly furniture, and only one of the 3 lamps had a lightbulb. The lightbulb over the vanity/sink was out. The room was dumb hot at checkin. It took forever to cool because half of the A/C fans were broken. Towels were low quality, wouldn't dry for 2 days. No iron or ironing board. Asked if they had a iron and I was told, "I will check later, im busy". The bathroom was just as bad. The toilet was stained and seat worn and paint chipping. The middle of the tub was stained badly. I killed most roaches in here... The ONLY redeeming factor of this stay is that the bed was reasonably comfortable and clean."

"I liked this hotel. It was a bit dated, but the room was nice, and the folks were helpful. Breakfast was not something to get excited about, but there's a Waffle House right next door."

"The location was close to downtown near the festival and the staff was nice. The bed frames have metal wrapping that makes noise when you get in and out of the bed. It was a bit annoying but tolerable."

"The character of the property was excellent although you park at the rear and enter from the rear so you don’t see the full glory of the plantation house. Lovely courtyard area.
