PROS:
- Welcoming and friendly staff. Everyone we spoke to was very nice and we were greeted with a hand written welcome letter in our room.
- Clean Room. Nothing seemed dirty, dingy, or suspect.
- Outdoor bar with live music (although there was no live music during my stay).
- Bathroom was spacious and had a nice shower with a double shower head. Bath robes were available.
- LOCATION! Probably the biggest redeeming factor to the Jefferson Inn. Located right in the middle (walking distance) of numerous restaurants, shopping, and entertainment options on Broad St.
CONS:
- Room was smaller than expected. Also, the TV was very small (maybe 28”).

- When I booked the reservation, it stated breakfast was included. However when I checked in I was informed they no longer offer the
