We had a wonderful stay at The Downtown Retreat Four. It was very clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed and it is a very quite area. It's just a few miles to the Square, it has lots of restaurants and bars. We didn't have to go far for anything we needed. We would stay here again when in the area.
