8/10 Good
"First, the hotel is beautiful and in a great location for walking around seeing the sites. The Swamp Fox restaurant food was some of the best we had during the trip and the staff there went above and beyond for our entire meal. I only took one star down for the hotel in general because the bathrooms are almost impossibly small for an average size person, and my husband is a big guy. Since we were only there for one night we opted to wait until we got back to our original destination to shower and clean up. Otherwise, we had a great room with a beautiful view, and the hotel made our trip that much more memorable!"

"Staff were very friendly, helpful,polite. The room was very very clean, up to date Breakfast selection both mornings were good with a nice variety. Only two items that came up to speak about. Expedia had us registered for 3 rooms, so that took a while to figure out 2nd item. The one and only elevator for the hotel was out of order the first night and remained that way during our entire stay. Luckily we were only on the 2nd floor, but I had had a Pacemaker implemented a few weeks earlier so navigating the stairs was a bit difficult for me. 2nd"
