I didn't know all the history this B&B had, until it was mentioned on 2 tours we were on! Lovely, relaxing stay. As noted on the properties website, I believe,there are no elevator. Staff took our luggage to room. But be aware, if you have mobility issues this might not be the best choice for you. Staff and breakfast were outstanding!

We loved staying at the Eliza Thompson House! Everything was great! Especially the staff! Everyone was so friendly and helpful! We loved the rooms, the delicious breakfast, the cocktail hour (with various wine offerings and hors d’oeuvres) and an after dinner dessert hour! There is also coffee, tea, waters and sodas available all day long. We arrived the day after the snow storm, so we were not able to sit outside on the courtyard patio with fountain etc., but we could see how beautiful it would be! We will definitely return in nicer weather! So happy to have found this wonderful place!

What a quaint historic b&b. You feel the southern hospitality as soon as you walk in. You feel the history and i love that the staff gives you a tour of the property. Updated bathroom and step stools to get on the high bed. There was water and plenty of usb outlets. Equipped with the bathroom essentials and bathrobes. Bed was comfy and plenty of pillows too. I do think the heating needs updating. It’s loud. I liked the wet bar in the parlor with coffee, tea, water and soda. All complimentary. I wish you had the option to select breakfast or not because for the $40 charge I think we would have opted not to take it. I know it included the wine and apps and dessert hour, but the breakfast was underwhelming with overcooked eggs, burnt cold bacon and burnt toast. We felt we had to get back for the wine and apps because we paid for it but would have stayed out and never made dessert because we were at dinner. Again, this is just our opinion and do think it’s a nice touch but having the option would be nice. Also, we were told it was adults only upon arrival, however i walked into an 8 year old heading to the wine time and a teenage boy at breakfast, so if you truly want no kids, I would inquire before booking. Overall, the location and staff were the best part and we appreciate all their knowledge and friendly personalities.

The staff at Eliza Thompson are extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were delicious and plentiful. The tradition of happy hour and dessert hour in the parlor area is lovely. Although we are happy that we stayed here, I'm not sure we would stay again because the facilities are somewhat dated and need updating. The toilet tended to run at times.
