While the property is older, the room had all the modern features as a new hotel,(coffee maker,microwave, fridge, hair dryer etc.) The room was spotless! Beds were comfortable and the location of the room was quiet. The check in was quick and efficient, the clerk lovely and friendly. We did not partake of the breakfast, as we left to early to enjoy it. All in all a perfectly pleasant and budget friendly experience.

Minus one star because pool empty and closed

I chose this place because it was a "local" property, and the photos made it look like a charming Southern inn. Overall, the location was central to everything I needed, and while the rooms were not as I expected (more of a drive-up motel after the main building), it was clean and comfortable. The manager accommodated my needs without my having to ask. The one downside was that the pool was empty and closed when I stayed there. After a day of driving and working, I was really looking forward to a cool, relaxing dip and was completely bummed out. It was mid-May, but it was already getting hot in Georgia, so I figured it would be open. I would consider staying again, but I will call to ensure the pool is open before booking another stay.

The property has age on it but clean and safe for the two nights stayed. Room doors are banged up and could use painting. The breakfast offered could have used creamer for coffee. More pastries should be offered for breakfast to compete with area motels. Only one bar of soap in the room for shower and hand washing could certainly use two.

The property is unique and a motel style which is charming. Our room was not very clean, the floor was sticky and seems like it needs a good scrubbing. There was left over bread in the refrigerator from a previous guest, our bath towels had toothpaste and hair on them from a previous guest so have a hunch the towels were not replaced after the previous guest. The pillows only had a cover on them and no encasement which is not very hygenic.

This is definitely an experience from days gone by. Built in the 1950s, it is the voice of class. The hotel is laid out as a “hotel village”, with multiple buildings that draw interest like a beautiful painting. Even though it is mildy in need of refurbishment, I would not have traded my stay! The huge and uncommonly shaped tub alone, is worth it to see. The staff is absolutely wonderful in totality, (very much appreciated). I will most assuredly return in the future for another enjoyable stay. Thank you Merry Acres Inn for being a reminder of when class was classy!!
