“Not as represented!! VERY dissappointed!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2011
1
person found this review helpful

My husband and I expected a beautiful room...as pictured on website! The room was very worn looking, dusty, dirty, marks on walls, bulbs blown out, very disappointing!! We attended the Gift show downtown, when we tried to get cabs, they refused to go to the neighborhood!!! We did not feel safe, walking to Marta. The owner was very nice, but not seen much! Our mugs were in the sink for 3 days, still there when we left! I would not have stayed, if my husband had not been with me!! We would have tried for another place to stay, but when the market is on, the hotels are booked, I actually considered going home!!!

“A lovely B&B!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2010

My one-night stay at tea cakes was a pleasant respite after a busy day at the Conference Center. The house is very close to the MARTA station, the hostesses are absolutely delightful, and the rooms clean and quaint. My breakfast (sweet potato waffles) were amazing!! I wasn't put off at all by the neighborhood, and was actually pleased at how quiet it was, for how close I was to downtown. I will definitely be back!

“Disappointed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 July 2010

My husband and I have stayed in numerous B&B's through the states, and were excited to try Tea Cakes. We chose the B&B at the last minute based off the website. Our alternate plan was the St. Regis in Buckhead, and how I wish we had chosen that!!! We were less than impressed. For the money, you can get a much nicer, more quaint atmosphere somewhere else.

While we were there, they actually highlighted the neighborhood on the news for the number of robberies and assualts that had recently occurred. The news clip showed a house we identified as being a few doors down. Consequently, we didn't feel safe in the neighborhood.

While the bed was comfortable, the pillows were cheap foam. There was no soap in the shower. A jumbo bottle of shower gel was provided; however, it was almost empty and had been watered down. The porch was nice, but the bird dropping should be cleaned up.

Breakfast was yummy, but not outstanding as the pictures on the website appear. I was tickled by the table setting. I expect a B&B to be refined, but the breakfast table was set with a papertowel as a napkin and the silverware in the wrong place.

“My Only Place To Stay in ATL”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2009

I usually stay in decent hotels whenever I travel nothing lower than 3 1/2 st ars at the least. My partner only likes to stay in B & B's because they are more personal and cleaner. I began my search for a B &B in Atlanta since we would be visiting the city for a few days, to my delight I saw pictures of Teacakes and fell in love. Unfortunately, when I was tried to make a reservation they were unavailable and that broke my heart. My partner had also fallen in love with the pictures and descriptions, so I e-mailed the establishment and to my joy they responded and opened the room for us. We stayed in the Diamond Hill suite and other than the bathroom being down the hall we loved it. The was plush and the room was just perfect. The hostess and her daughter (Kuprenda and Kenya) were very accomodating and had an adorable little dog named Savannah who was more than a delight to play with. This B &B is one of the twenty owned by black operators and that was amazing because there was so much rich history in this 3 bedroom 3 bathroom oasis. My partner and I enjoyed the cook Zelda...she made the most amazing sweet potato belgian waffles(i dont even like sweet potatoes) and baked apple pancakes...she really makes breakfast a luxury and the conversation was even more heartwarming on a full stomach. This is the only place I want to stay when I visit Atlanta and when we hopefully move in the near future it will be our little home away from home. We are hoping to stay in February for Valentine's Day. Please don't be like me and never experience a real B & B because once you come in you will never wanna leave. You'll especially love the dining room if you are a true Tiffany & Co. fan because the walls scream Tiffany...please look it up not just from my experience but have your own memory to share.
