    From the moment we walked in, we were met with warm smiles and outstanding service. The staff was incredibly pleasant and accommodating, making our family of nine feel right at home. Everyone in our group raved about both the delicious food and the inviting atmosphere it was truly a wonderful experience! The cooked-to-order omelets were a definite highlight, and we especially appreciated that the vegetables were sautéed beforehand, adding even more flavor. Other hotels should take notes on that! The biscuits were perfectly fluffy, the grits were simply amazing, and my husband couldn’t get enough of the crispy, flavorful bacon. Thank you for such a fantastic breakfast! We can’t wait to visit again.

    Food was excellent. Server nice but I would have liked ice in my iced tea—and a refill. But once we were served she never returned until it was bill time. There were 4 tables in service so certainly not busy.
