This property was absolutely beautiful and so convenient to everything we wanted to do in and around the historic district. We had a rental car, which we needed for the weekend, but the location of the hotel was walking distance to everything including fine dining. Grocery store is conveniently across the street. Loved the free parking, loved our stay!
