I come from Charlottesville, VA, but I'm currently a grad student in the UK. I usually travel for study/research in the Mediterranean or for conferences/interviews in the US. I love affordable yet decent hotels close to the sights in historic cities.
December 15 2007: Stayed here with my study-abroad group. This hotel was a lot nicer than I was expecting given the size of Sparta. Our favorite feature was the nice pool.
