Enjoyed our stay. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, the room was clean and comfortable, and location was fantastic. Rooms surround a cute courtyard that has several cozy seating areas, a cornhole area, and wonderful outdoor bar. This hotel is great for couples, and would be a fantastic location to put up relatives for a wedding or family reunion. The Dram Yard, a small restaurant on site was an unexpected surprise. The food was excellent and priced quite reasonably.
