It was close enough to walk to everything or take the trolley, which was nice. The room had no where to put your things and it was very noisy. The bed was uncomfortable and everything smelled musty.

My children and I stayed for two nights and the staff was amazing! Answered all of our questions and were so helpful! It was less than a 5 minute walk to shopping and food. About 10 minutes to everything else. Will definitely return for future stays!

Please avoid unless you like roaches
This hotel is absolutely disgusting. The photos are misleading as part of it looks as if it has been updated but overall it is a “landlord’s special”. Putting all of this aside we found a roach in the middle of the night. I rented a total of 3 rooms and all my family mentioned the room’s conditions and how gross it was to stay there. I thought it couldn’t get any worse, but it did! We carried a roach with us. We only saw one in our truck and can’t say if there were more, but coming home I left our suitcases outside our home for a week. Please, please find another room unless you want the extra guests.

Close to the Historic District
This hotel is walkable to the historic district and has plenty of parking. Our room was large and clean. It has been updated but the quality was not good. Breakfast buffet was ok. I would recommend this establishment for a short visit. It does have a historic tree on the property that is over 600 years old called “Old Senator”
