Stayed here for my daughter's wedding, we rented 2 rooms plus the cottage and we were ecstatic with…read moreall three. Every room is historical yet modernized enough to provide extreme comfort and a peaceful state of mind. Our host/ chef, Agnes made us feel like we were family. Her culinary skills are amazing as she prepares an delicious breakfast on the weekends. We also hosted a pre wedding cocktail party at the Inn that was catered by Agnes and staffed by Toni and Chelsea, all of whom kept the guests well fed and everyone's glass full throughout the night. They really bent over backwards to accommodate us when my daughter's wedding party utilized the cottage to get ready for the ceremony. Can't say enough about this place. Highly recommend you stay here when you are in town.

Arriving we didn't see any signs to the Inn so it was a little confusing and weird driving up to the Inn. We were welcomed inside by Keri and she apologized for the confusion and said they were working on signage. Keri was fantastic and first thing she did was show us to our room and took us on a little tour of the place. She gave us a lot of insight onto the house and its previous owners and how old it is. There is so much character and each room and the way they have each of them setup brings our the personality of each room. We were staying in the Wanderlust room and it was a beautiful with a great view of the open grounds next to the estate. It really felt as if we were staying a close friends house for the weekend. Keri kept us engaged, made sure we had anything we wanted, opened up the kitchen to us if we wanted any snacks. And there is nothing like waking up in the morning to have breakfast made for you when you come downstairs. I loved our stay here, we never slept so well, and I thank the comfortable bed for that but, I also think we were made to feel at home by a very friendly innkeeper.

The hotel itself was very clean, and it's clear the staff takes great pride in maintaining the property. That said, Tyler truly made the stay feel homey and welcoming--the kind of hospitality that turns a nice hotel into a place you genuinely enjoy being. Thank you, Tyler, for your outstanding service and for making us feel so comfortable. We truly appreciated

My wife and I needed only overnight accommodations, and the Holiday Inn Express at Rocky Mount was…read moreacceptable. The room (second floor front center) had a view of the noisy front street, smelled of Fabreeze (attempting to cover some odor), had a slippery shower pan with the hot and cold water plumbed in reverse, and no bathroom exhaust fan. The "free" breakfast was nice and offered a decent selection. Since Rocky Mount is just a small Virginia town, there aren't any other hotels or motels to choose from other than a smattering of expensive bed & breakfasts, so I guess we were lucky to have found a place to sleep at all. I thought the price for one night's lodgings was high.

This place is crazy. By chance, my husband and I had chatted with a woman who works at the old…read morerailroad depot that's been converted into a community center/museum/welcome center and she said that they had had a lot of music performed there until The Harvester was built. So, later, we check out The Harvester. I don't know how you graduate from a renovated train depot doing community events to a center that has big name celebrities - frequently - but they did. The place is excellent. Great parking, great location, easy entrance, nice concession stand, not crowded. The stage is RIGHT THERE. In fact, we went to go see Colin Hay (lead singer of Men at Work with an impressive solo career since then) a few months ago and he made the comment on stage that he was glad that he had invested in a good nose hair trimmer and could flare his nose with confidence. Acoustics are great, tickets prices are reasonable. I could just go on and on...

Not a fan of big families for any number of reasons. I prefer the way plants reproduce, like by…read moregerminating seeds or even better by grafting. Seriously, or nearly so, think how much better, as compared to standard issue childbearing, grafting would work for humans, like first of all no more Lamaze breathing classes for dads (after all of which are done, many moms go for the drugs anyway). then as one generation runs out of things to do in life, rather than uproot the whole parent just insert the next generation into the trunk, thereby hopefully eliminating adolescence when most of the body develops. Fungi and molds are even better as they mature in hours, are much more resilient and easier to distribute plus they're totally anonymous: parents don't have to see how their best intentions didn't bear fruit, and their offspring have no one else to blame. the spores of these life forms are quite durable, even tolerate the conditions found in outer space. Future myco-human lifeforms could be launched by the billions from earth unceremoniously, hoping a few might land somewhere favorable to germinate rather than being sucked into and incinerated by a star. And no alphabet or arithmetic to learn in grammar school. Being a family mammal on the other hand has major downsides. an example being that if you're known to be ever-ready to venture wherever someone will buy your plane ticket, they call upon you to go see how cousin Luke or uncle Amos or whoever is doing. The boring relatives stay put back home but the black sheep migrate over the years to places you would likely not otherwise go. So it is that I was driving through central Virginia on a moonless night, on just such a family mission and frankly need a roadie, a restorative for my lagging spirits, which is why I turned off the state highway and onto a county road to see where it went, and came to this town which is how I happened onto rocky mount's finest establishment, The Alley Cat Bar. It's great to find places like this and is the reason I prefer to drive in unknown territories using old outdated AAA maps instead of gps. Not every side road exit brings you to an historic and quaintly cool town like Rocky Mount, but it's the occasional one that ends in Rocky Mount that keeps you in the wanderlust game. It' was just what I was looking for at this moment, a break from driving the dark rural Virginia roads, local music and a friendly beer crowd. I was ready. Most small towns, not much to do, so can't be too choosey but lucky here to have this place, among others by the way but none so much my kind, live music potentially a little rough around the edges crowd but, after all, it's central va.
