I saw a review saying they advertised a bed & breakfast--just a little reading on the site or even a call will confirm that they USED to be a b&B, now a "guest house" where you're on your own for breakfast--which is fine because Pam's diner is just a few steps away! Their breakfast was cheap and very good! So let's clear that up. We went into it knowing they didn't serve breakfast. The price was pretty cheap compared to some other places we've stayed with less accommodations, but you just have to expect that this is not the Ritz. This is a historical, kitchy, and super friendly small-town experience that will pair perfectly with the Talimena scenic drive. I was impressed with all the preserved pieces of history, whether from the original hotel or just that time period. Lots of framed photos with descriptions give you a glimpse of life in those times, and make the place even that much more charming. Creaky hardwood floors, antique furniture, quilts on the bed remind you that it's an old building and "vintage" --while the pleasant, clean aroma, balcony and deck with string lights, modern appliances and remodeled bathrooms show their commitment to keeping up with the demands of today's patrons. We thought the free soft drinks, coffee, and bottled water, along with packaged snacks in several places, and self-serve beer fridge and bar (price suggestions listed but they work on an honor system--don't ruin this for all of us!) were a nice touch that you just don't get in a bigger hotel. Also the fact that they'll mail a postcard for you--that's just a nice, friendly touch. Say hi to the Guinea who hangs out in the deck, and enjoy the coffee shop and gift shop right across the street! Main street is just the next block over so make sure you go support local businesses and boutiques! (My only complaint is the bed was too firm for us to get a good nights' sleep!) Overall, it's worth your time and money to make this part of your travels. Even better if you're staying with the idea that you'll be taking the scenic drive--they have a map downstairs that shows you exactly where you'll be going! Enjoy!
