Pretty cool place. The owners own not only this hotel but restaurants around. They take you there by shuttle bus. You not need to worry about driving and drinking. You can even get in the bus with your drinks. You can order food to the hotel from any if their restaurants which are all amazing. You go to Albany? You need to go there!
Hotel seems to have seen better days - everything a bit worn and tired. Dingey bathroom with dripping tap and chipped tub. Staff seemed bored and indifferent; breakfast poor.
Lovely place; great food at the Pub. All staff were very welcoming and customer service oriented.
Loud noises several times throughout the night due to a wedding party at the pool.
I chose this place because it was a "local" property, and the photos made it look like a charming Southern inn. Overall, the location was central to everything I needed, and while the rooms were not as I expected (more of a drive-up motel after the main building), it was clean and comfortable. The manager accommodated my needs without my having to ask. The one downside was that the pool was empty and closed when I stayed there. After a day of driving and working, I was really looking forward to a cool, relaxing dip and was completely bummed out. It was mid-May, but it was already getting hot in Georgia, so I figured it would be open. I would consider staying again, but I will call to ensure the pool is open before booking another stay.
The property is unique and a motel style which is charming.
Our room was not very clean, the floor was sticky and seems like it needs a good scrubbing. There was left over bread in the refrigerator from a previous guest, our bath towels had toothpaste and hair on them from a previous guest so have a hunch the towels were not replaced after the previous guest. The pillows only had a cover on them and no encasement which is not very hygenic.
This is definitely an experience from days gone by. Built in the 1950s, it is the voice of class. The hotel is laid out as a âhotel villageâ, with multiple buildings that draw interest like a beautiful painting. Even though it is mildy in need of refurbishment, I would not have traded my stay! The huge and uncommonly shaped tub alone, is worth it to see. The staff is absolutely wonderful in totality, (very much appreciated). I will most assuredly return in the future for another enjoyable stay. Thank you Merry Acres Inn for being a reminder of when class was classy!!
We had a wonderful time. The Pub and especially Joel the amazing mixologist made the best esspresso martinis ever. He was so friendly and made our trip extra special.
It is an older property, but it has been thoughtfully updated with a sympathetic eye to the period in which it was built with modern comfort in mind. There is a lot to love about this property, but one must give the highest ranking to the staff. They are attentive, engaged, and so very kind.
I used to live in Albany and this place is a landmark. It is one of the few remnants of the old "motor courts" of the late 40's - early 50's. The staff eagerly helps with the old southern style. After an evening with old friends, I had a to go plate. Forgot I didn't live here & did not ask for a plastic fork. A staff member named Shawn
If you like the sounds of constant roosters crowing in the morning, then this is the place for you. This reminded it of the scene from the movie âMy Cousin Vinnyâ.
