Charming boutique hotel on a quiet road. Steeped in history, it remains the last African American hotel left in the state, so hoping the developers are kept at bay.

If you want a comfortable hotel, with some great history on display, this is the place to stay. Some of the room/bathroom decor looked a little tired - but the hosts were very welcoming and more than made up for this and the room was very comfortable.
