Most hotels send you out for dinner. The Mantissa points you to the breezeway. Sam Kendall’s — a steakhouse that opened in 2017 right beside the hotel — is the kind of room a small town is lucky to have: proper steaks, a real bar, and white linen, a dozen steps from your suite.
It’s why a stay here works so well for an anniversary, a rehearsal dinner, or the night before a Darlington race: you valet nothing, you drive nowhere, you just walk to one of the best dinners in the Pee Dee and take the long way back up to The Rooftop.
