Nice stop on the way to Florida
Pros:

Very quaint little bed and breakfast with a nice bar in the historic part of town…we had a great stay, and recommend it! The breakfast on the porch was excellent.

Excellent breakfast- although it is an old building I felt the outside of the building could of used some upkeep. Staff is very helpful and friendly. The history of building is interesting. Very close to downtown

Pros:

We very much enjoyed our stay. The 1842 Inn is beautiful. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious! The gentleman that served us was nice and very informative about the Inn. I wish the girl that greeted us when we came in had been more informative and friendly. Generally at a bed and breakfast they give you more information when you check in. We couldn’t find her to ask about the evening happy hour or evening fresh cookies. So that was a bit disappointing. Overall the Inn itself was great.

Pros:

This is a wonderful inn. The property is historic and beautiful. The room was gorgeous. The bed was comfortable. The amenities were outstanding. The staff was incredibly helpful and pleasant. The breakfast was good though I will say it was not as large a quantity of food as I would have expected. And the area around the property is historic and beautiful as well. It is walkable to get to downtown Macon, which was helpful. I would definitely strongly recommend this day. And BTW, the collection of photos of celebrities that have stayed at the same property was mind blowing. Everyone from Oprah to Barbara Eden.

Pros:

The 1842 Inn is a beautiful antebellum home located on a street in Macon GA lined with other grand homes. Staff was friendly and helpful. Property is well maintained. Breakfast was delicious as well as the appetizers served at social hour allowing time to mingle with other guests. I definitely will go back to stay again.

The 1842 Inn is beautiful property & the staff is very friendly. There was a pub within walking distance for dinner and breakfast was delish. The room faced the back courtyard and was clean & well decorated. The queen bed was comfortable. We will stay again if in Macon!

Pros:

We enjoyed our stay at this wonderful Inn. We traveled with our dog and they made us and the dog feel welcome. They had a lovely happy hour with some yummy bites. Alcoholic drinks are available at a very reasonable rate. We sat on the porch in comfortable rockers watching the students walk by.
The breakfast was delicious! You choose your food and drink, the time and location where you want to eat.The table is set with linens and the breakfast was freshly prepared. The property is beautiful and the staff couldn’t be nicer! We will definitely be back!

Pros:

Really was everything we’d hoped it’d be and then some. From the second we stepped inside we were transported to another place and time. We were received by Sarah, who was filling in for someone else, and she set the tone for the entire stay. Hope she finds herself at that check-in desk more, she was fun and gracious and welcoming and informed. We were both beaming after meeting her. The rooms were stunning and clean and so comfortable. We’ve been all over the country on this trip, and that was the best bed we’ve landed in to date. Our breakfast chef/server was also exceptionally kind and gregarious. When in Macon, we’ll never stay anywhere else.

Not what was expected.
Pros:

We were under the impression that we were going to have a room in the main house, but instead we were kept in the back house behind the property which was very loud outside and had spotlights all around us at night because it was a very shady area, not safe. The whole place smell old and musty, including our room, which gave me a headache our feet stuck to the wooden floors, our bathroom door wouldn’t even shut halfway so we had to use the bathroom and shower with the door wide open at all times. The pillows were so flat like pancakes. The staff was extremely friendly and the breakfast was good. Overall, unfortunately, we would not stay there again.

24 hours that felt like a time travel dream escape
Pros:

Dripping with Southern Hospitality! Great staff and you truly feel like you have stepped back in time and are being received as a visitor in a friend or family’s home. Evening drinks on the column-lined veranda, nightcap in the parlor by the fireplace, and homemade breakfast with a refined touch. This was my second stay here and I can see the rooms all have a distinct personality. I was lucky the first stay to have a fully renovated room in the main building, so this second stay in the back annex building disappointed in comparison (mainly the bathroom needing a severe update). Beautifully landscaped outdoor terrace with a fire pit between the buildings. Definitely highly recommend for a peek into Macon’s past, realizing this old lady antebellum may need a bit of work here and there (which seemed to be in progress in places…)
