"I would have given a five star except for one thing. Housekeeping does not service your room even on a four night stay. You must empty your own trash and place it in the hall. If you want clean towels you must request them. If you want coffee for the coffee maker in your room, you must request that. I would not expect a complete cleaning and saving water by reusing towels is not heard of, but when you are staying at this level of hotel you expect a little pampering."

"Very Pleasant Stay I really enjoyed my stay at Ivy Court Inn. The hotel has a very pleasant and welcoming atmosphere, and my room was clean, nicely arranged, and comfortable. The A/C worked perfectly and kept the room nice and cool. Breakfast was very good and beautifully presented, and the staff was consistently courteous and friendly. My only complaint was the very low water pressure in the shower, which made showering a little uncomfortable. Other than that, I had a very pleasant experience and would definitely consider staying here again."
