"I checked in at 12:30am and there was no clerk so I slept in my rental car. There was a night bell but no one showed up. The manager told me the next day that there should have been a clerk all night long. He was going to investigate what happened."

"It's so nice when a place that's doing things right doesn't feel the need to change - and that's the Sweetwater Branch Inn for me. It's excellence you can depend on, time and time again. The property always looks beautiful, the staff remains consistently kind and gracious and the rooms are clean and well appointed and the beds are fluffy and comfy - it gets a gold star every time."
