"One block from the Historic District's market area, this three-story hotel has rooms that are better than you might expect from a motel and are likely to be discounted in the off season." Full review

"Though the King Charles Inn was erected in 1958, the property sits on land that’s held hotels since the early 1800s." Full review

"This Second Empire-style home was built between 1885 and 1887... Accommodations range from Mansion Rooms to the Grand Mansion Suite. The latter looks as if it belongs in a European villa."
