We spent one night at the Azalea Inn and found it quite below average and not worth the $99 ++ that we paid, although the breakfast was nice. We were checked in by a friendly woman. She produced a sheet listing breakfast items and asked us to choose what we wanted brought to our room the next morning. Since we had an early meeting the next day, we asked if breakfast could be brought 15 minutes before their stated serving time. She then produced one of the owners, who mulled over this question before shrugging and muttering something like, "We'll see what the other guests do." (What did that mean?) Then this same man wordlessly showed us to our room. I don't think I've ever stayed in a B&B where the owner didn't bother to introduce himself to guests! He gave us a perfunctory tour of the room, handed over the keys and was gone. So strange! The room was in the front of an old house, had high ceilings and decor that I can only describe as 1980 masquerading as grandma's Victorian. There were mauve walls with stenciled flowers, a strange arrangement of various fabrics and ribbon tacked to the wall over the bed to make a mini-canopy, tiny vases of dusty artificial flowers, etc. The shabby furniture was vaguely Colonial hotel-chain variety. There were numerous cracks in the wall (one looked like someone had pulled a wire out of the wall and just left the track it made!) There was an armoire with a small TV - about a 15-17" screen. The entire room stank overwhelmingly of a strong floral plug-in air freshener. We found it after crawling on our hands and knees and immediately removed it to the hallway. The advertised Jacuzzi tub held water (with the supplied rubber stopper - drain mechanism apparently long-gone) but the jets didn't work - of course we were not told this in advance. The toilet seat was stained and worn with bare spots. And here's a bizarre touch that was a first for us: In the bathroom was a framed note requesting that makeup be removed with the supplied dark face cloth in order to keep towels and pillowcases clean; and I swear, there was a dusty, bleach-spotted and stained gray facecloth rolled and fastened with yarn in front of the note. Gross! The bed pillows were flattened out foam that appeared to have seen years of use, likewise the worn and pilled bedspread and shams. The head of the bed was against the two front windows; the front porch was just on the other side. A group of guests stayed on the porch talking and smoking until 4 am. It was cool that night and we considered leaving the gas logs on (they did work), but since our overall impression of this property was that things were shabby and in poor repair, we decided not to take a chance on dying in our sleep from a gas leak. High point: Breakfast was brought at our requested early time and was very nice. Fresh OJ in a decorative glass bottle, good coffee with half and half (we always give points for that), banana bread, warm croissants, fruit and yogurt, all brought in a lidded picnic basket. Kudos for breakfast, but everything else - needs LOTS of work.

I am totally bewildered by the negative review posted on this site. Andrew was delightful, attentive and a true mensch. My husband and I never considered ourselves B & B people (not relishing the communal aspects) but this was a fantastic experience, and we left hoping to return. The rooms were VERY clean, VERY well maintained, and the breakfast was a pleasure. I would highly recommend.

The Azalea Inn was a huge disappointment. After spending a lot of time researching hotel options in Augusta, we decided that a Bed and Breakfast would be the most interesting option. Little did we know how horrible the experience would be. Our hosts seemed strangely hostile, one man completely ignoring us, not even saying hello when we greeted him! The breakfast was quite unsavory, consisting mainly of stale bread heated in a microwave and bottled juice. The rooms were ok, but dirty and not well-maintained. But mainly, the downright rudeness of the hosts was inexcusable. My husband and I were perplexed and left after our first night to find other lodging. In addition, the location of the Azalea Inn feels quite unsafe.

Two years ago, my 2 brothers and my sister and I, complete with spouses and significant other, converged on the Azalea Inn for a weekend in early autumn. We came from Texas and Alabama for our cousin's wedding.
She recommended this B&B. We were so glad! Lovely, clean, wonderful decor, very nice hosts/owners. And the breakfast:wonderful! We are pretty experienced travelers and diners, and still consider The Azalea Inn one of our benchmark experiences. Would have highly recommended it before now if I had known about TripAdvisor when we stayed there. I hope others review it, too!
