This is the prettiest and oldest hotel in Fayetteville, and it is in the middle of the downtown revitalization. Most of the rooms are suites, with lovely furnishings and sitting areas. The prices vary WILDLY, so call well ahead and try to ask as many different ways as possible until you are satisfied with a price you like. I run a conference here every fall, and the hotel gives me a group rate of around $65/double. It''s very reasonable for the type of hotel it is. The front desk service is often a bit confused about the area and local goings on, probably due to the high employee turnover. Similarly, the restaurant, Chloe's, has plentiful buffets, but the choices are pretty bland with predictable fare and the staff is rushed. Compared to other hotels in Fayetteville, however, this is the one to go for if you are tired of the same old Comfort Inn! If you're there on a Friday night, you MUST visit the hotel pub, Babe's, to check out Paddy Gibney and Bill Ayerbe, local musicians who pack the house with their guitar, violin, and vocal music. They play everything from Irish folk tunes to Pearl Jam to Reggae. And they INSIST on audience participation. It's a short walk to several eateries on Hay St.: Subway subs at the Amtrak station, Huske Hardware House Brewery (lunch and dinner), Horne's Deli (breakfast and lunch), and Rude Awakening (coffeeshop and sandwiches). I'll post a review for Huske Hardware.
