Top hotels in Jefferson
Brent House Hotel
The hotel was great! It was clean and outdoor pool area was very nice and entirely heated!! I loved that. My only issue is Hotels.com put this hotel on a list. But it is literally attached to a hospital. It would be great if you needed to stay there for that purpose. But it DOES NOT FEEL like a "vacation" ...

Room was clean but towels & washcloths limited. Had to ask for more. Not quite what I expected from a Wyndham.
