Within this three-story hotel, each room is designed for long-term stays – similar to studio apartments – appealing to traveling nurses for the Gilford Medical Center as well as offering VSU Randolph campus visitors and student families local lodging where the only alternative option is located 30 miles away. Its abutment to the VAST trail also contributes to the hotel’s near full-capacity status since its opening, which was achieved six weeks earlier than originally estimated and under budget!
