We've stayed at the Pine Acres most of the times we've been there, with our first-ever visit -- way back in the day -- at the Scotland. I agree with most of the negative comments about it -- although back in those days I was pretty busy drinking and didn't notice much. But that's another story.
Anyway, Nancy and I have stayed at the Clinton maybe four times - and have requested a back room each time. We request it as I'm checking in (rather than when I call for the reservation). We've never stayed in any room but one in the back. It's usually pretty empty back there, with maybe a half-dozen customers (mostly racers).
Take slippers or beach shoes or something, just in case. Oh - the morning coffee is often just one pot, often empty when you get to it, and often you get a dirty look from an employee when you ask for a refill. But what the heck -- it's a great display of Southern hospitality. Or is that Southern Hostility?
