Inn at Laurel Point
The entrance is very nice, we stayed at the laurel wing, the older part, needs some updating. But glad we can bring our pet cat to stay with us.

The Magnolia Hotel and Spa
Lovely and comfortable room. Bathroom had a deep bathtub which is much appreciated. The room amenities were also wonderful. Love the little touches like filtered water and the turn down service.
