We arrived for the Friday night , Art of Music Festival with Balsam Range and the Atlanta Pops Orchestra. We were greeted by the nicest Ladys , who followed up with us during our stay. The Room was awesome, Clean, very comfortable beds, and with little soaps, and shampoo items. We had extra towels, and needed nothing. Our check-out was Flawless, and we enjoyed the conversation during our exit.. Our Friday night Shuttle driver to the Pavillion and back was full of information. A great guy with a big heart. ❤️

Nice stay. It's an older place. Overall happy with the stay. Comfortable and staff was very nice. But there were negatives. Room is on the small side. TV was small. Bath vanity was very small. Beds were small, with no nightstand on one side. Probably would not stay here again.
