Everything was really nice and it’s a beautiful property. It would be nice if they offered a continental breakfast option. Breakfast options were a little heavy. Staff was very welcoming.

Staff was friendly and helpful. The grounds and hotel were very nice. Enjoyed the restaurant and bar area as well for dinner and drinks. The only two things I found a little disappointing where that the bathroom shower was small with a wand that was semi broken and wouldn't stay in place and the television channel selection was basic channels. I didn't find an HBO or Showtime or any other movie channels besides AMC. We will definitely come back though because of the setting and the other features of the hotel.

Staff in the restaurant/bar seemed a little like we were bothering them. We also found those in the bar with a southern accent were treated much better (we were obviously not southerners). I thought we were past that nonsense. Otherwise a great hotel.

Our room had a balcony that overlooked the golf course and loved how private each balcony was. Mostly importantly it was serene, loved the outdoor seating and inside accommodations ❤️

Wonderful stay
The Sewanee Inn was a last minute replacement for a hotel for our Bonnaroo attendance. We had heard some bad thing about our original hotel. SO GLAD we upgraded the the INN. Beautiful facility, very comfortable. We enjoyed our first evening on our balcony overlooking the golf course and had dinner and drinks via room service. The food was amazing. Continental breakfast could have used a few more items but was adequate. We hope to go back so my husband can enjoy the golf next time.
