About Last Night

We were here for only one night, but due to the employees and atmosphere we will be back. We will also make it a point to check out the properties in other cities. Once I booked the room the hotel contacted me via email to inquire about the occasion. When I noted it was due to a delayed birthday celebration, in addition to asking if there was anything they could do to make the stay special, they had a handwritten note and a small box of chocolates waiting on the table in our room.

Quiet comfortable room with lots of space. Just a short walk to old town for sit down dining. Also very close to Harris Teeter and Trader Joe's for snacks. The bakery in the building has croissants to die for and some GF options. The staff is certainly top notch.
