Could have eaten in your room, the parkour or in nice courtyard area outside. Loved the big front porch - we enjoyed a bottle of wine there! If you drive a large vehicle, it is a little tight to pull into the registration entrance - we opted to park behind vs try this with a Suburban. Location is in a nice area with large beautiful properties! Would stay here again…….we also had dinner at Oliver’s Corner Bistro - wonderful dinner! 4 minute drive! More

Back at the Inn we enjoyed a nice rest in our room to wake to beautiful sunshine and coffee served again on the veranda. They treated us like royalty and our breakfast was exquisite.

  Having stayed at the I842 Inn previously, we were looking forward to our visit when we learned of the sudden illness of a loved one that required us to change... read more our travel plans and add on hundreds of miles to our travel. When I called two days in advance of our confirmed stay to cancel our reservation, I was told I could not cancel my reservation without forfeiting the entire cost of the stay because of their seven day cancellation policy.

I would have to call back the next day and talk to the manager and he might "work something out". There was no "I'm so sorry, I'll do everything I can to help you. I will contact the manager first thing in the morning and see if I can help you." Since we were already on the road, we decided to go ahead with the stay and drive an additional 400 miles the following day.

Being 73 and 74 years of age, I explained that there was no way we could stay at a place that did not follow more careful covid protocol. At this point, the manager realized my concern and explained that during covid they were indeed, allowing cancelations and refunds. Why was Johnny employee not aware of this policy? Why didn't he put on a mask the moment he saw I was wearing one? While in the end, we did receive a refund, no guest should have to go through this aggravation. Having grown up in a family business, I know firsthand that it is always the job of the employee/host to make sure the guest/customer is treated with respect and that their concerns are heard. If Johnny were my employee, he would be doing some serious work on how to make guests feel listened too, and to learn strategies for how to help in situations like ours. He would be made very aware that he is the overhead at the 1842 Inn and that the guests he is hired to serve are the profit. While the 1842 Inn is a lovely place, we will never stay there again. Southern hospitality is more than a beautiful building. It is about treating guests with fundamental kindness and respect. Finally, I would urge anyone who is concerned about covid to think twice about staying at the Inn until their protocol changes or the virus is abated. More

  It has been a while since my most memorable trip to The Inn. I live in Macon and would recommend no other place to stay. But I digress. I had... read more planned a stay at the Inn so that a special memory could be made. It was my intention to ask the love of my life to marry me. The plans were laid. We would stay at the Inn and in that room I would propose, beg if necessary, to the woman I loved to to marry me and be my wife. After the proposal, I had arranged for a horse and carriage to take us to dinner and return us to The Inn. Unfortunately, Mother Nature had plans of her own for that night. My beloved accepted my proposal of marriage! But before we could board our carriage, one of Macon's most violet of storms descended from the Heavens. We were forced to remain at the Inn. That's when the Inn staff, seeing our dilemma, rose to the occasion. They found use food from somewhere and desserts/sweets galore. We were cheered with adult libations as well. It felt like we were celebrating with family that night. I truly believe both of us were happier the way thing turned out rather than what I had planned. The Inn will always have a special place in my wife's and my heart. I encourage you to stay there and it may very well become a special place in your heart as well.

Later in this review we are asked when we stayed. This story is before then, but I have stayed there since and have enjoyed every stay.
