Recently stayed at the Lookaway Inn during a brief, two night stay in Augusta…read more The Inn itself is historical and beautiful. There's the main house (which I honestly don't know if there are guest rooms in the main house, but I would think so) and then there are additional rooms around the back. I stayed in one of the rooms out back. The room was on the ground floor and was spacious and beautifully appointed in period appropriate furnishings. The bathroom was also spacious and and a big and deep jetted tub, which was an unexpected bonus. The room was clean and quiet and the bed was comfortable. The inn is conveniently located to eateries etc. For my solo traveling girlies: + I don't believe the Inn is staffed all night. I was checking in around 5:30pm and the Innkeeper texted me to let me know they had a meeting and wouldn't be there upon arrival. They sent me instructions for how to do a self-check in and gain access to my room. My car was the only car in the parking lot all night. I didn't see anyone else--I believe I was the only one at the inn that night. + My room was accessed from the outside (ie: my room didn't lead to a hallway--it lead to the outdoors). And, there were two doors to access the room (both leading outside). They both did have deadbolts and one had a door chain at the top, +Parking is on site, well lit, and close to entrances +The inn appears to be in a nice area of town I don't know that I'd stay here solo again but would 100% stay with my partner.

This property would be a nice inn if it were properly maintained, but currently it is a dump. It is also in a rundown part of the city, with glass from liquor bottles strewn on the sidewalks nearby.

The lady in charge, Joyce, was as sweet as can be. I don't eat a certain type of meat and let her know so its kept out of my breakfast, but instead of just removing it, she went out and bought another kind so I can eat it! It was so beyond expectations! The room was also beautiful and the bed was really really comfortable. In fact, I'm looking to replace my mattress to one like that! Also, the wrap around back porch was soooo peaceful... I woke up early one morning and just sat out there with coffee... it was wonderful. Finally, we were able to hang out at the B&B, but also visit local places like the outlet mall and Athens. It was a great anniversary vacation! I recommend this place to my friends and family, and we'll def. be back!
