Overall clean room, but we could see some dirty places, as the bed frame/support where the mattress is in and the sink faucet. Bathroom was nice and clean. Staff very friendly. Excellent location!

St George Inn
Beautiful property with a comfortable room and bed that made for a very relaxing stay. The service was excellent, and the location right in the heart of the historic district made it easy to explore. Breakfast in the wine bar was both tasty and a peaceful way to start the day.
