Inn on the Square

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at Inn on the Square for one night. The hotel is clean and the room was very comfortable, big and pretty. The receptionist, Tatiana was friendly and nice. It is a five minute walk to downtown where there are several restaurants. We had an excellent dinner at Quarterback. The hotel does not serve breakfast but you can access Percy's Place from the lobby. We did and the breakfast was very good! The hotel is close to the Palmer Avenue parking lot where we caught the shuttle for the ferry to MV."
