We stay every Thanksgiving at this Hotel. The surprise this time was a walk in shower instead of the tub. That is wonderful for us as we get older. We stayed at a Fairfield Inn for several days in Jacksonville, Fl also in November. They had a different menu each day which was really nice for a long stay. Different meat, variety of fruit, omelets instead of scrambled eggs etc.

I received cancer treatment at MUSC across the street from the hotel. My stay was relaxing and peaceful. My husband and I even stayed a few days after just to relax. Everything was clean and the service was great.

Decent hotel for the price
The hotel was a little old and beat down but was decently clean. Every member of the staff we interacted with was really friendly and helpful. The walls between rooms are decently thin so it was a bit noisy at times.
