"The Early Inn is an ante-bellum plantation house, with a wide expanse of lawn in the front and surrounded by trees. Very beautiful! We were greeted by Stacy (sp?) who showed us around the house, instructed us on the use of the keyless entries before taking us to room. She offered to carry our small suitcases but that wasn't necessary. We stayed in the Magnolia Suite, a beautifully appointed room with wallpaper befitting its style and antique furniture. The ensuite had a double bowl sink and an oversize shower with three different shower heads from which to choose. There was also a nice sized soaking tub. Coffee, tea, and cold beverages were available as were snacks. Within walking distance was a great restaurant, Rocky Mount Burger Restaurant serving not just burgers but a wide variety of sandwiches. We had the Ruebens and were not disappointed. Excellent! Right across from that is The Harvester, the music venue where we saw Big, Bad Voodoo Daddy. Across from that is the Saturday Farmers Market. It's not exceptionally large but has a wide variety of produce, baked goods, and other local crafts. Many more stores were available if you continued your walk down the street. This place is well worth staying there and convenient to all you might need within walking distance. I recommend it without reservation."
