The property is very old and didn't feel clean. Bed was very uncomfortable. Looking forward to the new addition.

Great old time look like what one might imagine an older southern large house would feel like. Locals patronize the bar and it's a genuine small town vibe. Room was on the small side but quite nice. Quaint common areas to hangout in. Keep in mind if you book on Expedia it's essentially a reservation and you have to pay when you get to the hotel.

Good check-in, room spacious.nice bar, comfortable bed. But half the dresser drawers couldn’t open, micro-closet space. Restaurant servers ignored us and others; food cold. Room was not cleaned, wet, used towels were left behind. Took 15 minutes for shower water to get hot.
