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!

Southern Hospitality

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!

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.

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.
