"Pleasantly Surprised"

Just finished a few days at the John Yancy. We stayed here years ago so I was very pleasantly surprised when I saw the bright rooms. Newly renovated with an adorable retro look. The room was very clean and well stocked ( kitchenette). The beds are very comfortable and don't even get me started with the pillows. They are wonderful and I wouldn't mind owning a few of my own. We will definitely be returning next year while we enjoy a few extra days before our annual extended family vacation.
