  Another great Macon find..lives up to the press you read about it.  From the well done rooms to the very helpful and pleasant staff we could have asked for a single thing to change.  Be sure you treat yourself to breakfast on the patio - the gardenias and magnolias were in bloom and were so fragrant.  Sitting on the front porch and watching the sun set and the lights come on down the street to show off the amazing homes on the street was a treat too.

  I had a very short stay at the 1842 Inn recently. I literally got there at 10 p.m. and had to leave the next morning at 8 a.m. So, this wasn't your traditional B&B stop for me.
  
  Overall, I was impressed with the 1842 Inn and probably would have had rated it as 5 Stars, except for a couple of minor irritations.
  
  Positive -
  
  The room was fantastic. I walked into a wonderful room with a huge 4 poster bed, a sitting area, and great antiques. The bathroom was very nice and clean, and had it's own switch to turn on heat if it was cool in the morning.
  
  The people at the 1842 Inn were incredibly polite and service oriented. I think they typified the manners you see all over the South. Despite the fact I was only there for about 10 hours, I got the feeling I could have asked for anything and they would have done their best to accommodate my request.
  
  The breakfast was really very good. I had a souffle, coffee and orange juice in the courtyard and it was very tasty.  It was a cool morning for June in Macon, which made the whole thing pleasant.
  
  Areas to Improve -
  
  I wish the room I stayed in had an individual temperature control. I was thankful it was a cool summer night in Macon, which are unusual, or I think I would have been miserable. I had the overhead fan going and was still sightly on the warm side.
  
  This is an old building, obviously being built in the 1800s, so you did hear every sound. It was easy to hear conversations in the hallway, people getting into the shower, water running, etc. It didn't bother me as I tend to stay up late anyway. But, I could see it bothering other people who were trying to go to sleep at 10 p.m.
  
  I had a wake-up call for 7 a..m. and I didn't actually get that call until 7:15.  I was already awake, but if I would have been in a rush, it would have been more irritating.
  
  I wish they would have had another newspaper choice besides the local Macon newspaper. Even a USA Today would have been great to read over breakfast.
  
  And, this is a strange one, but the water didn't taste good. I noticed it when I brushed my teeth and it really tasted bad. They had offered me water when I checked in, but I didn't accept and I wish that I had accepted the invitation.
  
  Summary
  
  Despite a few minor irritations, my overall experience at the 1842 Inn was very positive and I would recommend it to a couple enjoying a weekend away or who wasn't in a rush to get out the door in the morning. I wish I would have had time to sit out on the big front porch or sit in their parlor. The decor was very nice throughout the building and the wonderful people were really a highlight.
