Great place to stay. Only issue was very low lighting in room so difficult to read. No mirror to do makeup and bathroom sink area was small so hard to do hair or makeup. Lighting in bathroom very dim.

Room could’ve been cleaner.. details on the cleaning such as a disposable razor was left by previous guests and not thrown away by cleaning staff and there was a blood stain on a pillow case so wondering why that wasn’t disposed of?? Also think there should be a discount for guests who dine at the Artist Colony.

We really liked staying here. There was no signal on the TV so the dish or whatever cable service they use didn't work but we didn't mind too much.

The staff was wonderful, you couldn’t find a better location, food was very good. But one of the bed mattresses was so bad I kept rolling into the center and the couch was also well past due for replacement as the cushions were broken down

The room was very small and also the TV was quite small. The room had no coffee maker, mini fridge, or microwave. The picture on the website made the room look much bigger. also, there was no dresser or shelves to put clothing on. Also, no closet but did have hooks on the wall.

Love the Hotel

My husband and I always love staying there. I am originally from Nashville so I am very familiar of this hotel. The only thing I did find out that I did not know is that we could have gotten coffee for our room. But I will remember this for our next visit and take advantage of this service. Love the mini pumpkin bread…. Beautiful country touch

Very large and spacious. Unfortunately the coffee pot and mugs, as well as other dishware was filthy. There was a septic odor throughout the halls and main sitting area within the room. The surrounding area was quaint and fun with all the artists shops.

The inn was simple and rustic. but with the modern options we needed (like air conditioning and a hidden TV). Having the restaurant downstairs was great, both for a late night dessert order and breakfast before we left. We would love to come back!

For the money spent I feel the room was not to power. I stayed at a state park which I had a very large room and a larger TV. The state park was half the cost, for the same nights stay.

Quiet

Overall, stay was good. Early check-in is not available. Inn is older. Corners were dusty, but bedding was clean. The lighting in the bathroom is very dim, making it hard to put on makeup. Staff was friendly.
