Oh, how a year changes all the good that a single place could ever have…read more As you all can see, I have consistently reviewed this place as an exceptional place to stay, but because of the unfortunate lack of care and attention to retaining long-term folk from current GM Kimberly the luster and beauty of a place can be so completely and utterly tarnished! Will admit our group was admonished for opening a door not properly marked as an emergency exit. After a second infraction I personally apologized and we shook hands and went on with an understanding from her that all was OK. Only to find out she reports to her board of this serious situation where we didn't obey her authority! Trust me the only situation here is the building in a violation of a state fire code that they don't want advertised. Very small and pedantic minded person to state we had no issue but after we have left and are miles away will in turn admonish you and abolish your reservation without any type of due process or knowledge other than the impersonal email. Absolutely abominable service behavior even if it wasn't towards decades long patrons. This new GM Kimberly is the complete antithesis of a service oriented person! She tells lies, will not resolve dangerous obstacles in patrons way, is not maintaining a good aesthetic to the building or grounds (overgrown vines and accumulating trash) and she does not fully report situations how they occurred. Very unprofessional! And to further show her lack of character, Kimberly invoked other long standing fine employees as part of the lie that she told her board. To the Garden Club: you to need to review the behaviors of your manager instead of revoking reservations. Maybe even ask around what Kimberly's nickname is amongst staff and citizens alike. Sad sad state of affairs at Excelsior. PS I write this in two states: having already spoken with Kimberly this morning trying to resolve this situation amicably and secondly fully knowing my reservation will be revoked too. I will certainly let you all know how this issue is further managed.

The building and furnishings are quite nice and the courtyard lovely so it is especially…read moredisappointing that the amenities are not. We had no idea there would not be any housekeeping services during our 3 night stay, we took our own trash down to the reception to be emptied, we had to ask for towels and carry them up to our room; the room needs dusting; the door facings are dirty with finger prints; the mattress is terrible and needs to be replaced as it sags in the middle; the pillows are of poor quality; there is no place to hang clothes. Our room is the Hayes Room which overlooks the roof and A/C unit. The real issue is our disappointment not to find all that your website promises. The room rate was quite expensive!

I have waited long enough to send a review of my stay at 3 Sisters last fall. My experience was…read morecompletely unplanned due to a rainstorm that made me stop my motorcycle road trip for safety reasons. At the time, there happened to be a motorcycle rally in memory of a fallen motorcyclist and every hotel room in the area was booked. Through the magic of cell phone internet, I was able to book a cottage to get me off the iron horse and start a great evening of exploring Jefferson, Texas. I managed to be greeted by a great gentleman right around 4:20. He was extremely friendly and his hospitality was amazing. He made sure to provide me with any needs and information I had to make my stay extremely pleasant under the circumstances. I am looking forward to booking again this Summer and will insist on staying here again. I normally refuse to book anywhere I have already been in the spirit of trying something new but there is no where else in Jefferson that I can imagine staying.

My husband and I love, love, LOVE this place! We stayed here earlier this year when I came to…read moreJefferson to speak at the Spring History Haunts & Legends conference. The moment I was invited back for the Fall conference, I hopped onto Air BNB and booked us here again. Yay! The Three Sisters Cottages BNB is a trio of little cabins in historic Jefferson, Texas. (It would be a great place for 3 couples to come and stay because you'd each have your own cabin, but could share the fire pit in the middle.) The cabins are so cute and cozy inside! They feature every modern luxury, including WiFi that actually works, a/c, TV, and heat. Each one features a kitchenette with a coffee maker, frig, and microwave. The hosts (Tammy and Randy) are helpful and friendly. They make you feel special without being intrusive. They are easy to communicate with and respond quickly to emails and phone calls. As for the breakfast: It's delivered right to your door in the morning! Not only are the breakfasts tasty, but they are photogenic. Your friends will be jealous when they see those food pics on your social media. (Speaking of, if you're on Instagram, check out the Three Sisters Cottages account and you'll see what I mean!) So next time you and your partner need a weekend escape, give the Three Sisters Cottages a try!

I like the tin roof and the bathroom but I wish there was a sink in there. It's got a mini fridge, microwave and coffee machine and breakfast was brought to us in the morning. My daughter is a vegetarian and she made special pancakes with caramel apples. We also had eggs and some really good sausage. The loft bedroom is a challenge to get up but I enjoyed sleeping up there, the mattress was comfortable. It is very hard to find and my MIL was there before which is how we found it in the dark. There is a friendly dog to greet you and a somewhat suspicious orange cat. There aren't many places to stay in Hughes springs and my husband has family in the area so it's really a very local gem IMO.

The cabin was really hard to get to. I had previously asked the host whether or not the cabin…read moreparking was either paved or gravel as my car has low ground clearance and they said yes - it does not. It rained today and my car almost got stuck. The cabin itself seemed bigger in the pictures, but, in reality, is exceptionally small. The shower stall was so small it was difficult to bend over without going outside the curtain. Even the toilet was small. We were scheduled to stay two nights, but we left early and came home. Also, the whole 'bed and breakfast' is a bit redundant without breakfast. The host also stated that the well water was unsafe to drink and said that they provided us with water - two Dasani bottles... to last two people three days and two nights. The host also claimed that we left early because of some spilled candle wax. No, we left early because of the reasons detailed above as well as the fact that you can see the front door of the main house from the cabin. We felt so massively uncomfortable to the point that we left. Suffice it to say, we will NOT be back.

The breakfast is at 730am on weekdays, 9am on weekends... a bit early by our standards since we were on vacation. That being said, it was drop dead delicious and Jody was a delight. They have wine and soft drinks, coffee and snacks available also. Our room had ALOT of nic-nacs....could have been less religious stuff too.

Our room was so quiet and we felt free to come and go as we pleased without bothering anyone. The breakfasts on both days were delicious - and way more than we could eat. I am picky about food because I am a recipe developer and food writer and I can tell you that the food at Azalea Inn was as delicious and beautifully presented as any that I have had. We came home relaxed and ready for the week...

Firstly - love a bed and breakfast that can seamlessly pair historic decor with modern touches such as a fridge stocked with refreshments, coffee available at all times of the day, wine openers and glasses available in the dining room and thoughtful led candles illuminating the staircase and a supply of tea, electric kettle and a microwave if you just so happen to bring your own popcorn. The pictures alone definitely showcase this thoughtfully decorated home with justice however what photographs and videos do not show you is the attentiveness and memories you'll make during your stay here. Staying at Benefield House really does feel like visiting old friends you've known for years and their names are Tommy & Nicole. They take such pride in the food cooked every morning and really open their hearts to everyone whom enters their home. To have the ability to create coziness without being intrusive and freedom to make your stay as inclusive or secluded as you wish is a fine art that they have definitely honed in with perfection. They are both so knowledgeable about the town and the history, so don't miss out on picking their brains for all the little details that might otherwise have been overlooked. My husband and I enjoyed staying up late with another couple that was staying in the B&B, drinking wine and chatting in the living area. The breakfasts were delicious and robust. Booking was as easy as could be, the location was right in the heart of Jefferson close to restaurants and shops, only about a half an hour drive to our boat tour guide of Caddo Lake, parking was a breeze, check out was simple, and honestly staying here was the corner stone that made this trip a huge success.
