Nothing a old very old house/ converted Hotel yet hestiate on not just calling it a motel. There are hundreds of cheaper options for the quailty of service that we had, but also i blame Exedia because i booked the Stafford Perry Hotel not the Stafford inn. 38yr wedding annver pretty much wrecked because of us wanting high end and being charged high end but yet have stayed at nicer motel 6 units before.

We asked Lori for sunset charters and ignored. The molding in the door to go on balcony popped off, apparently iccurs all the time. The room was awesome! Bathroom was awesome. We wanted to use the jacuzzi. Well, it took an hour to fill. No bath mat w rubber on the bottom to get out. This inn was beautiful, loved the people, the perfect viewing of sunsets, great parking. No bell hops. I will say the age group is baby boomers and older.
