Everything was great

Huntingdon Hotel and Suites
A nice, clean place; unfortunately not very soundproof. We could hear every person walking down the hallway, opening/shutting doors, walking around the floor above us, and construction outside. The front desk did provide earplugs upon request. The breakfast buffet was good!

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.
