Still Family-Owned. Still Family-Run.
The legacy continues today under the leadership of the founder’s grandson, who has been running the business since 1987. He’s joined by his sister and mother, both actively involved in the day-to-day operations. That family-first mindset doesn’t just extend to guests; it defines how we treat our team.
At Sidney James, our staff stays with us for decades.
- One of our maintenance team members has been here over 25 years.
- Our front desk manager and clerks have welcomed guests for more than 15 years.
- Several housekeepers have been with us for decades.
When guests say it "feels like home," it’s because they’re often greeted by the same friendly faces they’ve seen for years.
Why Guests Keep Coming Back
We’ve watched generations of travelers grow up here. Guests who once came with their parents now bring their own kids. Some come for the creekside peace. Others come for the convenience. Most come because they know what to expect: clean rooms, fair prices, friendly service, and a place that feels like it remembers them.
We’re proud to offer all the things guests love today, including three pools, pet-friendly rooms, a poolside café, and a trolley stop out front, without losing the spirit of what made us special in the first place.
This isn’t just a hotel. It’s a legacy built one memory at a time.
