Top hotels in East Central
Anniversary Inn - 5th South
Difficult to find, low quality microfiber bed linens that had hair on them. Could not get room to warm up and room service options consisted of fare you would find at a bar… staff however was very sweet. Ended up leaving the property at 10:00 pm and getting a room elsewhere
