Perfect stop in a small quaint beautiful town outside Atlanta. Rooms are so unique and not cookie cutter like all hotels now. I was looking for a different experience than just a chain hotel and this definitely fit the bill wonderfully. Right across from the Park and walkable to all things one can do in Madison.

The beds are the most comfortable I have ever slept in (except my own). The property is absolutely beautiful! The rooms are spacious, especially the bathrooms. They recommended a wonderful restaurant just steps from the back door. There are elevators which were not mentioned in the expedia description. We will definitely stay again when we are passing through.

Lovely older hotel. Bedroom was well appointed and had a fireplace. It was walking distance to restaurants and the historic area. Staff very good. Breakfast room was a bit dark and dreary as it was in the basement.
