We visited Augusta for the Ironman triathlon, and were very happy to find accommodations near the event start without paying the host hotel rates. We booked two rooms that share a hallway bathroom in conjunction with some friends. It was a busy weekend at the Inn with 3000 triathletes in town. and most of our fellow guests were in town for the race, too.
This inn is very cozy and comfortable, more like staying with friends than a hotel. Having the big shared kitchen to hang out with our friends and meet new friends was one of the best parts of staying here. The owner, Val, is a wonderful lady, maybe the hardest working owner you'll ever meet. She regularly inquired if there was anything else we needed and went out of her way to stock the kitchen and fridge with healthy food items and lots of wine. We were so much more comfortable having the kitchen and extra room than our friends who booked a regular hotel far away from the race venue. There is a nice courtyard downstairs that we planned to use for a little post-race party with our fellow guests, but those plans got rained out.
The inn has a lot of character. It's comfortable and lived-in without being shabby. The bed was very comfortable, bathroom was clean and well-stocked with plenty of water pressure and hot water.
I highly recommend the Queen Anne to people who don't like boring hotels. Val makes you feel like a guest in her home, and the location is great for getting around downtown Augusta. It is in an "urban" setting, so street noise and the occasional shady character walking down the street comes with it. But at no time did I feel threatened or unsafe unlike a couple of the reviews I saw before I went that worried me. Just realize that you are staying in a city, not the suburbs or some highway exit in the middle of nowhere.
We will definitely stay again if we do the Augusta Ironman again.
