Best hospitality and so much charm!

We absolutely love this place. The owners are amazing and so helpful. They go above and beyond to ensure your stay is the best. This is now our “go to” hotel whenever we make a trip down to visit our daughter at college. The hotel is old but that is part of the charm of it and why we enjoy it. We love that’s it’s close enough to walk to nearby restaurants but not in the middle of the hustle bustle of everything. Sheets, towels, and rooms are always clean. Only small thing that would be a great improvement would be some newer mattresses and some work on the walkways on the 2nd and 3rd floors. And maybe a drink machine. Other than that, I have no other complaints. We love the Malaga and will be back every time they have availability on our trips down south.

AWESOME! Real charm, character and hospitality. Anyone can stay at a cookie cutter hotel chain, but this place is one of a kind. Family owned and operated for multiple generations. You can feel the history as you walk around the property. Plenty of parking and good location within walking distance of restaurants and taverns. Ultra clean. Excellent value. Try it you’ll like it.

This property is completely neglected, dirty, and unsafe from the sheer filth. Our room on the ground floor was so strong with a super heavy mold smell and wood floor appeared to have recurring water damage. To the point, our throats were burning just from breathing in the air. We had our young children with us and if it wasn’t pouring raining I would have slept in the car to protect them from the mold. On top of that, multiple roaches greeted us as we tried to sleep crawling all over the room. Furniture was falling apart, rug was stained, sink didn’t drain, towel holder was falling out the wall. We didn’t even attempt to use the shower because of how dirty the curtain and room in general was. The window in the room was rotten, peeling away like the rafters all over the building’s exterior. No ramp at the curb, door knob at the front door was falling off, column on the upper balcony was rotten, not supporting at all - appearing to be able to fall at any moment. When we first called to confirm our reservation, no one answered the phone and the voicemail box was full. Other than the decent location, this place was our absolute worst lodging experience and are not high-maintenance people. We immediately called our pediatrician out of caution when we left, it was THAT bad. The mold and filth was scarier than the ghost stories.

Charming and quiet

We like staying at the Malaga Inn because it’s walking distance to venues yet tucked away and quiet. It’s been there awhile but has an ops world charm. Definitely will stay there again.

A period hotel built during the Civil War (which seems a brave business choice!) and has hosted celebrities including Elvis Presley and Ronald Reagan. The hotel is beautifully set out around a courtyard. I'm not sure that there is an elevator, so there may be challenges for people with disabilities or difficulties lifting luggage. When I checked in, reception was being covered by the maintenance man but he was very helpful.
