“Very disappointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2010

I should have paid more attention to the previous reviews on this property but was lulled into a false sense of security by the web site and the triple A rating. They no longer give triple A discounts although it is still advertised in the 2010 edition and I seriously doubt that they qualify for the two crowns rating. The hosts who introduce themselves on the web site, Howard & Faye Yager are nowhere to be found. The Inn is being babysat, her words, by an elderly woman called Ruth who is in serious need of some help. We booked in room 5 M for 2 nights unfortunately. The toilet did not flush the whole time we were there despite our pointing out the defect. We solved the problem by putting a coffee cup in the tank drain so that it would fill. The plug mechanism in the sink was also jammed open but we were too busy working the toilet to find a solution for that. After a long day out walking we returned to find a pile of clean towels outside the room. They had been left there by Ruth because she said she had taken the wrong key when she went to clean up the room. So we still had a pile of used towels in the bath where we had placed them for collection, the bed was unmade, coffee maker dirty and no fresh coffee supplies for morning. The only time Ruth was at reception was when we arrived and when we left. The rest of the time if you wanted anything you had to call her on the phone so I hunted out fresh coffee making in the morning. The board in the front garden advertises a cocktail bar and fine dining as does the brochure. There is no fine dining and no cocktail lounge. Our room was billed as being convenient for the upstairs balcony and this is correct but the upstairs balcony is not a place to visit with its shabby broken down bug infested furniture and general unclean appearance. To be fair the inside of the house was clean and tidy but the whole atmosphere was one of unkempt neglect, somewhere that had definitely seen better days. I have never written a review in 40 years of travel but this place is seriously misrepresented in all the literature and advertising I came across and is definitely not worth the $175 a night tariff. Do yourself a favour and stay at the Holiday Inn. That's what we did.

“Outstanding Owners and wonderful food”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 July 2010

We have not stayed there, but have ate there twice. Once for a private dinner and the next day for breakfast. The owner Faye is very colorful and was extremely hospitable to us. The food was top notch, with Faye giving great attention to what we wanted for dinner. We have spent hours talking with her. Give them a try!!

“Stay out if the inn - overcharged, bad service - they just don't care.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 July 2010

people found this review helpful

We splurged on the bridal suite as it could accommodate us and our 2 children. The room which was very large was cramped though as it is jammed full of tacky “antiques” and furniture. A restful evening was an impossibility as the antique beds squeaked at the slightest move and the very loud window air conditioner did a mediocre job at cooling the room. We had to move to a different, less expensive room our second night so we could at least get some rest. Unless you eat breakfast between 9:00 and 10:00, you will miss out on it. As they told me, it is just too inconvenient to serve breakfast all morning. No breakfast for us as we needed to be out at 8:30. At checkout, the innkeeper billed us for both nights in the more expensive bridal suite and then charged us $60 because we had to change our room. We explained that we had been over charged but s he couldn't issue a refund and said we would have to deal with the owners. They have yet to return numerous phone calls and e-mails. I finally located the physician /owner in Atlanta at his office. He offered no resolve and just said he’ll send me a listing of what he charged which is not what I needed. No surprise that I haven’t received that. Now I will have to dispute charges with my credit card. There are numerous better choices in Brevard just based on the property alone not to mention the indifference and attitude they dish up. We returned to Brevard 2 weeks later and this time stayed at a Holiday Inn Express. It didn’t have as much character, but we were comfortable, had breakfast when we needed it and the staff was very accommodating. Enjoy all that Brevard offers, but make sure that The Inn at Brevard isn’t part of it.

The Inn was built in 1865 and has furniture from the same period, including beds that do sometime squeak, as they used to do. The Inn only has 15 rooms and regretfully we do not have a large staff to provide kitchen services at anytime, so breakfast is served between 9 - 10am.

We have tried on several occasions to resolve the fee issue with this guest. We have refunded the difference for the room price (for the less expensive room with a different bed on the second night). We offered a full refund to this gentleman after his complaint about the "squeaky" bed so he could go to a more modern hotel and he refused. We have to include state sales tax by law, and the additional fee's for over 2 staying in a room are applied to pay for additional laundry, utilities, full breakfast (s), etc..

We have hundreds of guests every season and most of this is repeat business. We cannot please everyone but do please most by far. We pride ourselves on our cleanliness, cooking, staff and garden. Please try us for yourselves we would love to meet you and prove it!!!!

“A Total Turn Off!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 June 2008

people found this review helpful

Never again!

Stayed at the Inn for the Brevard Music Center concerts. Found the place to be tacky, cluttered, overdone, dated, squeaky beds, bad a/c , management unpleasant. Price was quoted over the phone and emailed, then when we got there they said it was different. No attempt at improving customer service, or hoping to make the customer happy at all. A huge turnoff! The Holiday Inn would have been a much better choice.

We strive to make our guests happy at every turn. We're sorry you felt it was cluttered, overdone and squeaky. This building, listed on the historic register, is over a century old and keeps as much originality as possible.

“Unbelievably Terrible Customer Service”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 May 2008
5
people found this review helpful

We booked two rooms at the Inn at Brevard back in February for Brevard College Graduation weekend in May. We were quoted $99.00 per night when we reserved the rooms - a portion of which was charged to our credit card as a deposit. When we arrived at the hotel in May, we were informed that the rate would be $150.00/night. When we approached the owner, she blatantly refused to give us the rate we were quoted. She was absolutely the most horrible and unreasonable woman I have ever met. When we told her that we wanted our money back for that night because we would not be staying, she said she couldn't care less if we stayed there or not, but she could not credit the money back to our credit card. We told her that we would be contacting our credit card company and we would not pay the rate and she made it clear that she didn't care what we did, but she was not giving us the rate we were quoted. She never denied that we were quoted that rate (because we had the receipt to prove it), but she was willing to lose our business over $50/night - and it was her mistake! I will NEVER visit this Inn again (I've stayed there twice before) and I want to let as many people as possible know how badly we were treated there.

We are sorry for the price mix-up. The guest had a previous stay during the off-season, and was under the impression the rate was the same during the summertime holiday stay. Like all lodging facilities, no discounts are available over holidays.
