I absolutely loved my stay here! Everything about this place was fascinating. The Inn is absolutely beautiful, historic and the rooms are huge. I stayed in a queen room on the first floor. The bathroom was very spacious and clean. My bed was fantastic. It was probably the best bed that I have slept in for a long time other than my own. I enjoyed meeting Mary and John. John made me a nice breakfast and we chatted while I ate it in their lovely dining room. All of the rooms have so much history and the area is very nice. I would love to come back again and stay here over any hotel any day.

What an amazing view and beautiful historic home/inn. We enjoyed our two nights here. Very clean, and quiet, nice breakfast. John was a wonderful host, telling stories of the history of the home and the area. Convenient to get into Augusta or North Augusta. I'd definitely recommend when you're in Augusta a stay across the river.

My wife was staying at this hotel alone, and shortly after checking in, she had a very frightening…read moreexperience that caused her to feel completely unsafe. The same employee who checked her in and personally handed her the room key later went to her room and began banging aggressively on the door. At the time, my wife was in the shower. She called out through the door that she was in the shower and could not open it. Despite this, the employee--James--continued to bang on the door and demanded that she open it to identify herself and provide her ID. This made no sense, as he already knew who she was and had just checked her in moments earlier. He persisted multiple times, insisting she open the door. This behavior terrified my wife. She felt unsafe, vulnerable, and unsure of what to do, especially as a woman alone in the room. I was on the phone with her during the incident and heard everything unfold in real time. Because of how unsafe she felt, my wife made the decision to leave the hotel and check out immediately. No guest--especially a woman staying alone--should ever be made to feel frightened or pressured like this by hotel staff. This experience was extremely disappointing, and I will be contacting corporate to report this incident. This type of behavior is completely unacceptable, and no one should ever be made to feel this way while staying at a hotel.

If you are hired to do service at this hotel. Think twice. You might get your privacy violated…read more They promote high end hospitality but I received poor professionalism all across the board.

The room was clean, no smell, or issues during my stay. Fairly quiet despite being near a major road. No issues with neighbors or other guests. Like most hotels, this location also had a small gym and their equipment is pretty modern, especially their treadmills. If you're a diamond elite member, there are designated parking spots available on the side outside to use. Among the top hotels in the area, I highly recommend this holiday inn express.

Stayed here for 1 night in July 2025…read more TL;DR: way more good than bad here. Clean, comfortable, spacious room (mine was a king so your mileage may vary). Great staff. Would have no issue booking here again. The Good: *The staff is incredibly friendly. Everyone I had the pleasure to interact with was wonderful! *The water pressure was great *The bed was comfortable, not the best, but better than most hotel beds I've slept in. *The king bed room had a chaise, and it wasn't uncomfortable for the hour I used it to watch the GIANT television * microwave and refrigerator! The okay: *Breakfast was your typical included hot hotel breakfast. Nothing spectacular but does its job. The bad: The windows lack a way to block out sunlight during the day. It had a pull down translucent white shade and a heavier, opaque pull down shade. The issue is way too much light bleeds in around the edges. Made my attempted nap be just that, attempted. *The tub was a little damaged and chipped. The floor of the tub felt a bit unstable, but I didn't feel unsafe. It just "gives" a little, if that makes sense. While I'm not rating as good or bad, but there were some weird pieces of wood in the corner by the door that seemed like a contractor didn't clean up and neither did anyone else (pic provided).

We decided to avoid the interstate motel roulette wheel and spend the night at the Partridge Inn…read more Pulling up, things looked promising. The valet folks were friendly, everybody smiled, and for a moment I thought we might have stumbled onto one of those places where Southern hospitality still gets practiced instead of just printed on brochures. The inn itself has that old-school charm. The front porch alone looks like it has stories to tell, and most of them are probably better than the ones you'll hear at the average chain hotel breakfast buffet. The room was nice enough, though getting to it felt a little like a low-impact obstacle course. After stepping off the elevator, there were three steps to negotiate before reaching the room. No big deal. I shuffled the luggage and carried on. Then I discovered the room itself was split-level, complete with three more steps. That arrangement seemed perfectly reasonable until the 3 a.m. trip to the bathroom, when those same steps suddenly became an adventure sport. One suggestion: every room ought to have a proper nightstand and a place to charge the electronic gadgets that have become attached to modern Americans like an extra limb. We may not all travel with a typewriter anymore, but most of us carry enough electronics to launch a small satellite. Things got a little more interesting when hunger arrived. We tried to make restaurant reservations through the Resy link on the hotel's website. No luck. The restaurant wasn't listed. Fine. Technology fails. It happens. So I called the restaurant. No answer. Turns out the restaurant number appears to be the same as the front desk. I left a message and waited about 45 minutes for a callback. Never got one. Again, no big deal. DoorDash and an Indian restaurant came to the rescue. While pondering the mystery of the missing callback, I found myself staring out the window. That's when I noticed the paint splatters and streaks all over the glass. Now, I don't know who handles maintenance around there, but somebody needs to explain that painting a window and cleaning a window are two entirely different activities. And that's really the story of the Partridge Inn. Nice people. Pleasant room. Plenty of charm. But charm can only carry you so far when attention to detail keeps missing the bus. The little things matter because they add up. The unanswered phone, the broken reservation link, the paint on the windows, the awkward room layout--they're all small by themselves. Together, they're enough to make me appreciate the stay but probably not enough to make me come back for another one.
