Good location - about 10 minutes walk to downtown. Very friendly helpful staff. Nice bar where you can get complimentary coffee in the morning and purchase a small srlection of baked goods. Has the look of an old style hotel but clean and comfortable with good eifi and information in the rooms. Good value for money.

Second time lucky! After my first scheduled visit was snowed off, I made it to the Longleaf this week and I LOVE it! Such a cool modern take on the old school motel. Wonderful staff, lovely rooms, amazing bar, my favourite garden in any smaller US hotel and the perfect location. Just the best package available! I genuinely cannot wait to go back again and to see the wonderful employees again and a little more of the city as my entire stay was under 18hrs! As Arnie once said: “I’ll be back”!
