Nice location in central downtown. The hotel beds were comfy and clean. The two gentlemen who assisted me during my stay were professional, friendly and very welcoming. Shower pressure was great too.

The girl running the restaurant at dinner was extremely pleasant and accommodating. For some reason, the soup ordered was taking a long time to arrive; she apologized profusely and ensured our first round of drinks was on the house. This immediately diffused any potential for impatience.

Loved that the parking was free and gated. The building’s security is top notch. The elevators are super fast and it is in an absolute prime location. We went there to see the campus but also had tickets to go to the colonial life Arena and it was approximately a mile away less than five minutes by Uber! Only cost $6.60 You could actually walk. The bed in the master was so incredibly comfortable. The giant wide screen TV, two of them were perfection! The outdoor space is cozy yet private overall just an excellent experience I would highly recommend. The host was amazing and answered our questions immediately! Place was tidy neat while decorated well appointed and perfect for our stay. Wish we could’ve stayed longer!

Ken and Crystal were so attentive to any of our needs. Breakfast was a gourmet experience. The beds are incredibly comfortable. Ken kept the conversations going among all of the guests as well in the beautiful garden that won my heart seeing the southern roses that only blume in the fall. It's no doubt that they love this historic inn. I hope that you are fortunate as us to stay at the Chestnut Cottage
