This place is awesome! The rooms are spacious, the vibe is awesome. Exterior is very old school motel vibe but all modernized. Best part for me, it’s locally owned and operated, and the staff is amazing and so friendly. 10/10 recommend for anyone! Definitely check out the bar/lounge too. The bartender there chose one of the best wines I’ve ever had from the big selection, and their cocktail menu looks awesome!

We stayed at Long Leaf for a volleyball tournament at the convention center. Despite being a bit further than other hotels, I am glad we chose Long Leaf. It was the easiest and most pleasant hotel stay I’ve had in forever. Quiet, easy motor court parking steps from your room, and excellent morning coffee. Pleasant employees and other guests. And, it was cleaner and more high end than hotels near the conventions center. Loved it.
