I think this picture screams Southern living. I can just imagine myself sitting on the porch with a sweet tea, ok probably something with a little more kick, relaxing as the sun sets.
A quiet morning in the Lowlands.

Exceptionally clean, friendly staff, convenient location. Parking was easy, right next to the door, parking lot well lit. I didnt eat the breakfast (I slept in too late), and didnt use any of the amenities, so I cant comment on those.
