The accent pillow was soaked in air freshener and gave us both headaches. The desk had dust on it and there was only liter of water- for the rate we paid, I believe two bottles of water is Fair. Also, at 8:30 in the morning the door to our room opened suddenly. We are assuming by the Housekeeper? We had a dog traveling with us and we where sleeping in the bed. It could’ve been a disaster. Regardless, our sleep was disturbed. All things considered, I believe a lower room rate is more appropriate.

I booked through Hotels.com. I was expecting an email from the hotel, not a message on the app. Parking and check in were impossible without that vital information.
Thankfully, my frantic call for help was promptly answered. The staff was extremely patient with a very tired and confused lady.
My only complaint was that our room faced an alley: trash pickups at 3:30 am and 5 am were quite unpleasant.
The location was wonderful. Lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance. I would stay there again if a room off the alley is available.

We had to leave our car in an alley. Then, go up a stairwell to our room to get our parking code for access to their garage. We were required to park on an upper level, then get our bags and walk down a steep hill in the garage. We then had to walk our bags back to the hotel before going up a steep narrow stairwell. Why not provide the parking code with the room code? The tv remote did not work and requests for assistance were not responded to. All that said, the room was nice and the location next to restaurants is convenient.

My daughter only stayed here the night, but she liked the overall vibe of the place. Only issue was we didn't receive an email from the hotel or expedia with check in access codes for checking in, room, and parking. WE were able to call the hotel day of and get access codes for check in and room, but she couldn't find her access code until she got in room after parking.

The room was great and comfortable. However, it appeared the bar staff had get supplies out of the hallway which was right next to our room. We heard the constant beep of the door and opening and shutting of the door all the way to midnight. Also, the remote for the TV would only power on the TV and adjust the volume. We couldn't select an app to watch. Cool place, comfortable bed, great location near food and things to do, but was hard to sleep with the noise.

This hotel was meticulously clean and rooms were newly renovated. There is no front desk for check in . You receive an email with a door code. Parking is also a little quirky. You pull into an alley between the hotel and the building next door. You unload your vehicle in the alley then drive down the alley a little further to the parking garage and park on the 2-3 floor. There is a lovely little restaurant across from the parking garage ( where Greg Allman proposed to Cher) . Amazing selection of liquor and great food.

The hotel is only 2 miles from the Allman Brothers Museum. There are several nice restaurants within walking distance. The hotel also has its own bar in house.

I would definitely visit again

A lovely stay overall

We enjoyed our stay in a well-appointed and clean room. The room was decorated beautifully and contained many thoughtful amenities. Our only problem was that we were given the wrong entry code and stood outside for several minutes trying to enter. A quick call resolved the issue. However, having no lobby or staff on site is a little undesirable. It would improve the experience to have guest services available and seem more hospitable. All in all, we would return to stay in the future.

Bed was the best we have ever had. Great pillows. Modern take on a very old city. Keyless check in. The Staff \"Kat\"hotel manager and Abby the bartender were delightful. So many windows to see everyone and everything! Curtains fully blocked the lights out and any sound. Smelled great in the room with a sound machine next to the bed. Ac was a unit up near the real tin 12 ft ceilings. Worth the trouble of parking. (We have a really big truck) Smart tv. The Quill bar had delicious drinks!! Cozy comfy setting. Everyone was very personable. Informative about the city and shared recommendations on food and attractions. Very happy and well rested!

I loved the property!
My only critique would be that I was unaware about where to park until I was already parked and in my room the next morning. There was a printed piece of paper on a table in the room that I didn’t get a heads up about as to where NOT to park in the parking garage. When I scurried out to check on my car I had an obnoxious tow sticker on my window! Please alert your guests prior to parking that they need to display the printed paper on their dash and where to park. I would have been devastated had my car been towed. Aside from that the property was lovely.

Little Quirky in Macon

Welcome to the staff-less hotel.

Wasn't sure how this was going to work out, but it ended up as quite a fun experience.

One the day of your check-in they send you a 4 digit code which opens the entrance door and your room at 4pm. There isn't any hotel staff there (except cleaners).

We arrive a little early, but the code worked. However, they were still cleaning our room, so we couldn't move in. However, they did give us our parking pass (which is left in your room).

The car park is a about 100 yards down the alley. The code on our pass wouldn't open the barrier, but luckily another car let us in. We had tried calling the help number provided, but no-one answered. The car park isn't exclusive for the hotel, but you leave the pass on your dashboard. Don't park on level 1 as they will tow you! The ramps between floors are very steep and a little scary!

The hotel is a nicely renovated building. Corridors and our room were clean. Bed was very comfortable, and everything worked well in the bathroom, including good shower pressure.

Only real issue was the TV. You get a smart TV and streaming on any App is really up to you to bring your own credentials. There isn't anything else. However, our TV didn't work, you could run any of the preloaded Apps or install new ones from the AppStore. We weren't there to watch TV, so it wasn't a problem.

Hotel has a connected bar. They give you a 50% off voucher, so we had a quick drink.

Overall fun ad I would book again.

Beautiful room, in a beautiful, old (but updated) building, Fantastic bed (better than mine at home!) and clean. Excellent communication with the staff, both by email and phone. Walking distance to everything, shops, restaurants, Christmas lights...I went for the Christmas Light Extravaganza. The only part that was 4 stars instead of 5 was the area where you enter the building. It's in an alleyway and just isn't as safe \"looking\" as the rest of downtown Macon. That being said, I never felt unsafe, but I can see if you arrived at night, it might feel a little sketchy, and parking is in a parking deck a 1/2 block down the alleyway, so you have to walk back to the hotel entrance from there (unless you want to pay for parking on the street). Some reviews mentioned a lot of homeless in the area, but that's generally in every big city in America, so I wasn't disturbed by it. I didn't see that many homeless wandering the streets, but if you're from a small town, you may be bothered by it. Considering the limited options for accommodations in the area that are walking distance to everything, I was quite impressed. I would highly recommend the Woodward when you're visiting Macon. Sidenote...there is a coffeemaker (coffee, tea bags, sugar, cream included), and a mini fridge, but no microwave.

Room was beautifully decorated, my street view room (#7) was exactly what I wanted. Street noise and pedestrians are to be expected. Close by restaurants were delightful. I’ll come back in an evening when Quill is open, that was a disappointment, closed on Monday’s. Otherwise just a wonderful experience…oh, great shower and linens! Thank you and look for me again!!
