Magnolia Inn-worth a visit

We had a chance to stay at the Magnolia Inn when they had a last minute cancellation. The owners were great! Very welcoming and helpful when asked about events and dinner spots within walking distance. The room was very comfortable and extremely clean. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast as part of our stay. One of the owners, Joyce, asked if we had any food preferences upon arrival to make sure she prepared items we'd enjoy. I'd definitely plan a return trip to the Magnolia Inn.

Cute house. Innkeepers are great and the house has charm. The bed was uncomfortable and very creaky.... Also, there is no on site parking lot/space. You are required to park in the neighborhood block, which is their "free parking". The location is not in a great neighborhood and we felt very uncomfortable leaving our cars parked there.

Wonderful B&B! The owners are beyond hospitable and the breakfast is out of this world. The location itself is central to many restaurants and shops, a quick walk or lyft will get you anywhere you need to be. The B&B itself has been beautifully restored and maintained. Highly recommend!
