Absolutely wonderful place with excellent courteous service, delicious breakfast, and nice amenities. Could not have been better. However, be advised that the "street noise" is excessive, at least on Friday and Saturday nights. We were prepared for normal traffic noise, but not the loud truck engines, racing motor cycles, blaring music, and screaming and laughing people until 2:00 AM. We were on Caroline Street and I'm sure it would have been much better on the back side of the building.

I reserved a room thru *******. Apparently, the room had the bathroom across the hall. This was only indicated in small print in parentheses, at the bottom of the room details. The hotel called on the day of my reservation to let me know that our room’s bathroom was across the hall. I explained that I had a medical condition that required me to get up and go 3-4 times per night. They said that I could upgrade the room for an additional $20, when I had already paid $200 for the room. I said no, that I felt that it was their responsibility to publicize a bathroom not in the room. They refused to cancel and assistant manager, Madison, was quite rude about it. I’ve never stayed in a hotel with a bathroom across the hall and with my condition, there’s no way…for $200 plus per night that I was about to start! Horrible management. An $20 upgrade could’ve solved the problem. Don’t stay here.

We stayed in the Sawyer Scott room at the Caroline House. What luxury!! The room is gorgeous an so comfortable. We had just spent wo weeks touring Virginia and this was our last stop. We mostly stayed in historic inns and this was our favorite. The amenities are so great. We had to skip the breakfast because we had to get to the airport but our hostess made sure that we had a box of goodies to eat in the morning. Much thanks to her for trekking us from the R.J. Inn to the Caroline House in the 95 degree humidity!!!

We had a wonderful stay. The Inn is conveniently located in the center of the historic district, close to many restaurants and shops. Easy access to the Civil War sites in the area. Our room was very comfortable, the staff helpful and the breakfast delicious. We highly recommend the Inn

This was our second stay and there were new inn keepers. It is a lovelly place full of history and the new team are very warm and welcoming! We stayed in the Kitchen Room off the courtyard. Its spacious, comfortable and the tub is lovely. It's easy access to the downtown area. The breakfast was very tasty! They decorated the inn for Easter and it added an special touch to our stay. This is on my list of favourite places to stay!

We were on our way to Florida and we prefer staying in B&B rather than a roadside hotel. Lovely comfortable room. We stayed in the Isabella suite to minimize stairs ( other than to and from breakfast). A beautiful old house made into a lovely inn. Parking was in back, very convenient. Inn was conveniently located to restaurants a short walk away. Breakfast was elegant. The day we there it was French Toast made with large thick bread. We hate to waste food. Had we known how large the serving was, my wife and I would have asked to split one plate, and asked for more fruit instead (hint hint).

Avoid Grieco Hyundai like the plague! I went there to correct vibration in my Ioniq 5. They did diagnostics and said they fixed the problem by balancing the wheels. However, after getting the car back and driving on freeways, the problem persisted with perhaps a 20% improvement. But also, additional problems arose after I left them, problems that, in my opinion, they caused. But I have not talked with a single service person because they DO NOT RETURN CALLS. Service here could be defined as misery.
