We really liked the option to park in back, where some B&B's in the area do not have this and you are limited to street only. Staff was very nice!

Had a great time at the Ballastone. It is so convenient to downtown shops and dining. You can catch the trolley right there, and the staff was so friendly. My wife and I very much enjoyed the experience.
