“Some good, some disappointing”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

The pet fee of $15 was not stated anywhere on the website although it made a point of saying "pet friendly." The room made a good first impression, despite the fact that we prefer not to have outdoor entrances. There had clearly been recent updates, most notably new cabinets and granite counters at the sink area. The bed was very comfortable as advertised, and the room furnishings looked newer and attractive, plus, had we needed it, there was a refrigerator and microwave. On the down side was the very tiny toilet/bath area which had not shared in some of the updates. The flooring was clearly much older than the rest of the unit, the paint was peeling in several places on the wall, and the shower head needed replacement. It was noisy outside the unit, and the breakfast area was not intuitive to find as it was entered from around the back of the first building having been converted from a hotel room. It was far too tiny to accommodate the breakfasters so people were crowded around with no place to sit, and the food was disappointing as well.
All of this would have been ok if the price had been in the same ballpark as a Super 8 or similar, but we paid more expecting more. We won't be back

Thank you for sharing your comments pertaining to your stay. We strive to ensure each guest has an enjoyable stay and I am disappointed to learn you are unhappy. We would like to replace the shower head; if possible will you please contact me at 706-629-8133 and advise of the room number. I agree the breakfast area can be crowded during peak travel seasons, although it seats 18 comfortably and is open from 5:30am till 10:00am, some days that is not enough seating and I am sorry you were inconvenienced. Additionally, if you would like to suggest possible breakfast selections you feel are lacking, I am more than happy to review our menu for possible enhancements.
We appreciate all our guests and value your first hand feedback. Thank you again for taking time to post your review. I welcome the opportunity to hear from you again with additional information regarding the shower that needs attention and other breakfast suggestions.
Sincerely,
Lynna Gron

“Perfect Place to Stop!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 November 2011

Like many others, we stopped at the Jameson for the night on our way home to Jacksonville. It's hard to say that I've been please with many hotels we've stopped at along our route home, but the Jameson Inn has by far topped the list of my favorites. My fiancé checked us in and as soon as he got in the car, he was grinning ear to ear with the service he received from "The Elizabeth's". After a long drive, it was refreshing to be greeted with a smile.

The room was very clean and the A/C worked great. The only complaint I was say (like the others) is that the water closet it small, but it's not like we needed to spend hours on end in there.

The location is perfect and I assumed we'd hear highway noise being that it was so close to the interstate, but there was none! The bed was comfortable and there was an ample amount of fluffy pillows (five to be exact).

I've already said that we'll be stopping in Calhoun from now on and as long as nothing changes, we'll always stay at the Jameson Inn.

Thank you Elizabeth and Elizabethe (with an 'E') for making our stay comfortable and friendly, from one Southerner to another, it's so wonderful to see that true Southern Hospitality still exists.

Room Tip: We were in a room just above the lobby and it was great, close access to the stairs and vending mach...

“Neat place to stay”

We were first given a room that smelled a little bit odd and smoky, but after we informed the reception, staff was very friendly and immediately switched us to another room that did not smell.
Room was cozy and clean, also relatively quiet.
Good value! Can recommend it.

Thank you for taking time to share your review. Offering both smoking rooms and nonsmoking rooms can be a bit challenging. If you are this way again, please request building #2, it is pet free and smoke free.
It's great to know my team immediately responded to your concerns and solved the dilemma without delay.
We strive to ensure each guest has a pleasurable experience and your comments confirm we were successful.

Thank you again for sharing your post, we appreciate that you chose us for your lodging needs.

“A nice place to stop for the night.”

This is the 2nd time we've stayed at this Jameson Inn enroute to Orlando. We've been very pleased both times. The staff was very accomodating in meeting our needs after a long drive. Our room was very clean. The location is excellent - right off of the interstate & we walked across the parking lot to Ruby Tuesday for dinner - didn't even have to get back in the car. I can't comment on morning breakfast as we only had coffee to go - which was also nice to fill our travel cups & not having to stop somewhere.

“Smelly”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2011

I will not stay at this motel next time. The room had a musty odor and when we turned the air on it got worse. The breakfast is nothing to talk about! We went out for breakfast. I DO NOT recommend this motel to anyone!
