We walked in and the bathrooms by the pool smelled like smoke. Our plans changed and we asked if we could get a credit or some of my money back. They hard lined and said no and that they were sold out. You would think with all that money from full rooms they could have a little grace.

The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The location was perfect near I-75 but with no road noise. Our room was not ready when we arrived a bit before 3:00 pm and we had driven 6 hours from Charleston to make it for the Cherry blossom parade. This made us late to get an Uber to downtown Macon.

The room and hotel itself were great - the fees were ridiculous. For 2 small dogs it was $150, we could have just gotten them their own room. The info on hotels.com says it is a one time fee for $75 per stay.

Breakfast was excellent. A mix of hot foods and self serve items. Two attendants on duty to replenish, restock and clean. Not a fan of the open shower where water spray invariably wets the floor. Trendy, but impractical. I predict the LVP will be replaced.

Bed was comfy and the convenience of the kitchen was great. TV did not work, reported but no technician on duty. AC was pathetic, didn’t always stay cool and difficult to figure out to use the hidden wall thermostat and not the one on the unit. Hated the half shower wall. Homeless person begging in front of lobby. I will never go back there.

Checking in was perfect. Room was nice. But by sleep time, the air handler was not working. Upon calling the desk, was told there was nothing to do ‘til morning and no other room available. We lived with the situation. Next morning, spoke with very capable young gentleman at the desk. He was able to replace the thermostat, replace a bathroom light bulb, and silence the screeming bathroom door.

Nice room. The shower did not work so had to insist on being moved to another room.

If you stay there, choose a room on back side of the property. Probably quieter.

I can say it had a kitchenette. There was a pull out couch but really not all that impressed. We only stayed overnight to tour the nearby college, luckily. I wouldn’t have been anted to stay another night. The walls are thin. Hope your neighbor doesn’t decide to slam every drawer at 4:00 in the morning. You’ll hear that. People walking above us sounded like elephants. Loud music. Breakfast was good though. A lot of options.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The rooms were adequate. There was a few hairs in the tub and a dirty tissue was in one of the ice buckets. The stove was dirty in one of the rooms and the refrigerator door had some sort of prints on the front. The breakfast buffet was not great. The taste of the items was not good.

Breakfast was a hot breakfast. The room was very clean, walk in showers were great too. We were attending an event at the Macon Colliseum and it was only about 7 min from there. Actually everything was quite nice and we didn't have any issues. We would stay again.

We enjoyed this stay very much. It was exactly what we wanted while staying to visit Mercer and attend the football game.

The hotel is very clean and welcoming. Staff is very friendly and always greet you whether entering or leaving the premises. I will like to thank Barbara R. at Towne Place Suites Macon Georgia for her warm hospitality and going beyond the call of duty to ensure that I had a safe trustworthy driver from the hotel to the airport. It difficult at times being away from home with unfamiliar travel options and I'm grateful that I was in good hands after speaking to Barbara. Thank you Mam, (Guest 219😊)

That it was just 3 mins from the university that my child has decided to attend. And that it was frequently visited by the local PD because we traveled with all of the things needed to move into a dorm. And that it’s just a walks distance from places to eat & grab coffee. Like they were literally next door. It’s right off the highway so be prepared to hear car horns & the loud of engine of some crappy 18 wheelers.

We’re giving it a low rating because you need recliners in the rooms for people with certain conditions.

we like the convenience and location of the property. staff was extremely nice. my only complaint was at check out when we checked out early and when I asked for a receipt, was told that it would be emailed to me because if I were to get it at that time, i would have to pay an early check out fee.

Very nice and clean, check-in was easy, breakfast ends at 10. There are three to four restaurants in the same shopping area one has a live band. All are feet within the hotel. It also has a patio sitting area and an outside grill for the anyone who wants to use it. The check-out is at 12 for no additional cost! Thats a win for me.

Fire pit was wonderful. Hotel has 2 grill. Used one & hotel has grill utensils to borrow. Borrowed a fry pan & lid to cook with in room. Very limited games to borrow. Lobby is large & we used it to play games & chat. Hotel staff we interacted with were polite & very helpful. Great suggestions to. Hotel is right.off Hwy 75 near a college. Parking lot shared with resturants so options for dinning out.

This hotel is right on a university campus. Service was wonderful! But overall the condition of the hotel was not great. All of the walls in the hallways were badly scratched from luggage carts and the room furnishings were banged up quite a bit. This hotel is in need of a renovation. But I will reiterate that everyone that worked there was cheery and helpful throughout our stay.

They did not have the double queen bed room we booked. We were given a king w/a pullout couch- super cramped. Not even enough room to walk by when the sofa is out. We tried buying another room, but they were sold out. No extra blankets either. Our son is 6’4” so sleeping on a pull out is not possible. We rearranged sleeping arrangements, but it was not ideal to say the least. Both front desk workers were short & snappy, no help. We didn’t even bother w/the breakfast. Disappointed.
- 3/5
Property was nice, Staff was friendly. Walls throughout the hotel were extremely beat up from housekeeping carts. The hotel temperature was way to warm. I had the heat in my hotel turned off and the temp never dropped below 74 due to the temp from the common areas of the hotel that had t be at least 76. The breakfast needed a lot of help.

Southern hospitality!
