Spring House Inn

Spring House Inn

10/10 Excellent
"It's decent, quiet, and clean. It is a woodsy area. The breakfast is suck. Sausage and eggs everyday. They could do better. (At least add grits, bacon, and fresh fruit.) It's got an old hotel smell but they use plug-ins to kinda mask the odor. I am happy that they didn't have bed bugs!"
