    perfect spot for exploring historical sites and local eateries

    I had a great time exploring the nearby Rosedown Plantation State Historic Site just under 2 km away and enjoying delicious pizza at Sonny's Pizza just a few steps from my hotel, making my city strolls feel effortless and enjoyable.

    Both lovable and frustrating

    The staff was nice, and the rates were good! A friendly atmosphere can be found here.

    Unacceptably dirty facilities! Our room was run-down with issues like missing shower curtains and filthy outlets.

    good value
    unpleasant mold

    It was just a fitting option for a brief visit in Saint Francisville with good value for cost. The mold in the bathroom was quite unpleasant but manageable. Look for a different place if cleanliness is a priority.

    friendly staff
    delicious breakfast
    incorrect room assignment
    cleanliness issues
    unmet expectations

    The updates to the property are noticeable, and the friendly staff truly set the tone for a welcoming atmosphere. A breakfast featuring delicious English muffins was a highlight, certainly among the best I've encountered on my travels. Unfortunately, the room was not as promised. I was given a smaller double bed instead of the requested queen, which was disappointing. There were also cleanliness issues that need addressing, making the experience less than ideal.

    fishing pond
    impressive grounds
    noise disturbances

    The grounds were impressive, perfect for unwinding. Plus, keep in mind the breakfast options could be better. they mainly had toast instead of a variety, but overall a fun experience!

    One downside was the noise from other guests late at night. It was tough to sleep with all the arguing going on nearby.

    southern feast
    peaceful location
    friendly staff
    dirty facilities
    uncomfortable stay

    The breakfast was a true southern feast with eggs, grits, and waffles! Plus, the location was peaceful, just a hop away from downtown eateries like Sonny's Pizza and Magnolia Cafe for some local flavor. Can't forget the friendly staff, truly top-notch hospitality.

    However, my love for Saint Francisville was dimmed by the unsightly state of the hotel. We booked for two nights but bolted after one—the dirt and discomfort were just too much to bear.

    Quiet location with friendly staff

    I appreciated the peaceful atmosphere, which really added to our relaxing stay. The staff were genuinely warm and accommodating, making us feel welcome. However, the rooms could use some upgrades, as the furnishings felt dated and there were some minor maintenance issues that needed addressing.

    run down room

    Not what we expected

    We just couldn’t believe the state of the place! The room was a mess, with what looked like mold and even a roach under the mattress. Super friendly staff, but the overall vibe was just run down. At least the breakfast was decent, but we ended up leaving and finding a better spot nearby.
