My husband and I have never stayed in a B&B before. We had a wonderful experience with the Old Library Inn. Our room was decorated beautifully, and very clean. The bathroom was especially immaculate and the linens were soft, fresh and plentiful. Breakfast was fresh made to order and delicious. I felt very relaxed and comfortable in the living room area and kitchen. A wonderful stay and I will be back!

It was a cool historical building that was very nice inside. We had the down stairs room it was spacious but the carpet did smell a little old and musty. I would stay there again in a differ room with no carpet in it.

Breakfast is only served on weekends but items are available for a light breakfast of cereal, breakfast bars, coffee, tea, etc. One of the towels was torn and frayed. The shower head was non-operational. It's very difficult to contact the inn by phone since there's no voice mailbox set up. The inn is charming and I'd stay there again.

Check-in was easy, the house was clean and quiet. It was a nice, antique looking house. However, nowhere did I see posted that breakfast was only served on the weekends, so we were expecting that. It was kind of pricey to not have breakfast included. There were some holes and stains on the comforter and the smoke detector chirped the whole time we were there.

We have looked at and admired this B&B for years. We finally got the chance to book a room. Amy and Lois, the two lovely ladies who staff the place, have hospitality down to a science. The beautiful historic home is lavishly decorated, each room having its own unique theme. We stayed in the beautiful Signature Room, where we could entertain our friends. Lois cooked a delicious breakfast, coffee available 24/7, and we were welcomed to use the kitchen as often as we wanted. Stores and great restaurants were a short walk or drive away. Did I say drive? Oh, the beautiful hills nearby provided breathtaking views every time we went anywhere. Rock City Park — a hidden gem a visitor to the area will love! We chose to spend a little time walking through the very old Worth Smith Hardware store — another hidden secret. If the player piano isn’t playing, just ask, and the staff will play it for you. What a delight! Peruse the aisles and aisles of every day home and garden supplies… you will be sure to find something special to take home! As you leave don’t forget to take a free bag of fresh delicious theater popcorn, as well as a group picture with the giant patriotic squirrel in the parking lot.
