But beyond that I was very disappointed in our stay. I had booked this venue to celebrate my wife's birthday - wanting it to be a great and enjoyable surprise for her. However, to begin with, no one was there to meet us when we arrived. After 15 minutes the innkeeper finally came to let us in. Upon arriving at our room I noticed we were not in the room that I booked. Since we were the only guests I looked around and noticed that the other two rooms had not been made up from the previous guests, including the room that I had originally booked. Every place seemed to be a mess - washing machines (2) stuffed with linens (I didn't know if they were clean or dirty). The website said that there would be a manager's reception with snacks - the only instruction was "lots of snacks in the kitchen - help yourself! We didn't find any "lots". No bath robes (also in the description). Breakfast was a choice of eggs & grits or waffles (not made to order). Coffee was cold. The coffee room had a Keurig dispenser. A few books of the history of Macon to read; nothing about the mansion. The only redeeming part was that it is a beautiful mansion, and easy to relax there, and freedom to roam throughout. Jessica tried to make our stay nice, but she needs some help - training and help with cleaning/upkeep. Unless some things are improved I cannot recommend it.
Everything was great from the moment we arrived until we departed 🙂
I had moderate expectations, but was totally blown away. I will definitely be back. Worth every penny!
