Such a lovely stay at the Inn during a business trip. The staff were so kind and accommodating. My lovely room in the main house was warm and welcoming. Breakfast in my room each morning was delicious and on time. Will stay again without a doubt and will share my wonderful experience with others who plan to visit Macon. Highly recommend! A++

My wife booked a weekend in Macon for my Birthday. We never knew we would fall in love with an historic inn like we did. The inn dates back to pre U.S. Civil War. Stepping in to this historic mansion was simply astonishing. The facility could almost pass as a beautiful museum thanks to all of the period furnishings and various antiques. Our room (the John Gresham Room) was on the second floor in the front of this stately dwelling. We were intrigued by the celebrities who had previously stated in our room. The list includes Cher, Davy Jones of the Monkees and Barbara Eden of I Dream of Jeanine fame. We could not have asked for more comfortable surroundings. We particularly enjoyed having a couple of Mint Juleps on the Inn's phenomenal veranda. The drinks were accompanied by some delicious Hors d'oeuvres. This made for s great setting to soak up the amazing history and surroundings at this wonderful facility. The amazing staff eas friendly and professional. They made you feel like family!!!! Many thanks to Jo Anne, La Kecia, Dovy, Kyle. Sarah and Gloria for offering true Southern Hospitality in this historic setting!!!! We love our stay at the amazing 1842 Inn so much that we are coming back in a couple of months. We were treat so well here we made some great friends with the amazing staff!!!! All in all if you are looking for a getaway with true Southern Hospitality look no further that the amazing 1842 Inn in Macon, Georgia!!!!!!

We've been by and through Macon several times over the years but never visited the city. On a recent trip to South Carolina, we decided to stop half way for the night and chose the 1842 Inn and were not disappointed. We were warmly welcomed by the whole staff. They took good care of us. Our room was very comfortable and very quiet - the two most important features for an overnight stay. Even though we ate breakfast rather early, the staff met us with smiles and an outstanding meal. My husband had the breakfast casserole which he loved; I had the Southern breakfast which was yummy but our highest praise goes to the English scones made by Chef LaKecia M. Out of this world and she gave me her recipe.!!

The price for the Inn is worth to get a nice experience in the Inn with a long history. The magnificient building is built in 1842 and host nice and cosy rooms. We were for an overnight on the road to Tennessee and to stop in Macon is worth. Located in the downtown, you can discover the Centre of the town by foot. Very nice old buildings and museums but the only caveat is the weekly closure of all museums etc. from Monday & Tuesday.

Quaint Antebellum hotel with authentic olde worldy feel. Rooms were very comfortable, plumbing and bathrooms basic but hey it´s an old hotel. Staff were amazingly friendly. Parking was good and readily available. Breakfast on the porch was a nice touch. Breakfast on Sunday was a bit hit and miss but the poor lady was on her own and did her best so no issues.

My wife and I spent a four days at the 1842 Inn. The décor was lovely, the rooms and grounds peaceful and soothing, the food excellent, and best of all the staff were pleasant, friendly, and attentive. I’m not sure how the location could be better, as were able to explore a number of historic and architectural sites within a half mile of the Inn. Overall, and especially if you are looking for a rest with quiet, good food, and pleasant staff, the 1842 Inn is the place.
