It was a lovely old historic home. The staff was excellent in giving us the tour. The restored room was small and filled with antiques from the house's era. Breakfast was served at 8:30, which was too late for my scheduled appointments.

This property is a beautiful historical home in a great location directly across from a park and plenty antique shops within 2 blocks from hotel. Furnishings are exquisite and although the rooms are not as large as newer hotels all amenities were provided. Restaurant on site had great food and breakfast was delicious

The Hotel Magnolia is a beautiful facility - tall ceilings, wood trim, antiques and chandeliers throughout. We were delighted when the front desk handed us an actual brass key, (not one of those electronic cards). The room itself is quite small - typical for a 115 year old B&B, but it and the bathroom were impeccably clean and neat. The on-site restaurant is also superb. Great value!

The house was built in 1907. It’s old but I wish the beds weren’t. Floors sloped, wood floor was worn, beds were very old and tired. I think it could use some upgrades to help it be more comfortable.

Lovely Hotel and lots to do in nearby towns!
We were there for three days and loved the hotel! It is old and beautiful; we stayed in the Honeysuckle Room which is small, but all that was available when I booked. My husband and I appreciate the true art of an older home so the small space didn’t bother us. Upon check in we were greeted and given a tour of the hotel with instructions on details we needed to know. We loved the room with comfy bed, the staff were all so friendly, the breakfast was delicious and made to order, coffee and snacks available at any time, had ample street parking and we enjoyed the lounge upstairs with live music where we received a complimentary drink as guests of the hotel. As far as the area is concerned, we felt safe in Foley and Orange Beach and Gulf Shores are only about 15-20 minutes away which is where we spent some of our time. The bridge to get there is $2.75 each way and parking right on the beach was reasonable ranging from $3 for two hours, $5 for four hours or $10 for the entire day. Bathrooms and outside rinse areas made beach going a breeze and much cheaper than staying right in the touristy area. So many cute towns nearby with lots to do. Pensacola, FL is a short 30 minute drive and we loved Fairhope where we found a brewery and enjoyed the town’s First Friday Night of the month event featuring local artists, shopping and live music in the streets. We are in search of a warm weather retirement relocation and Alabama is a top contender!!

The Hotel that saved the trip!
We got a tour at check in and staff was super friendly and helpful. Spotlessly clean loved the history and antiques. Theres an on-site restaurant and bar. There was live music with dancing which was awesome! We very much enjoyed our stay and will stay here again the next time we come down.

What an amazing place! It was a beyond beautiful old building restored to perfection. We were greeted by Melissa, who informed us it was her first day...you'd have never knew it as she was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. The complimentary drink, the delicious breakfast along with the comfortable, spotless accommodations made this an unforgettable vacation. Thank you all so much!

Loved the architectural detail of the rooms. Gorgeous! The ornate intricacies reminded me of some of the classic designs in historical Parisian apartments and Versailles. I'm not sure of the exact style, but it's the attention to detail and quality that stand out. Makes me wonder why I stay in those boring modern chain hotels. Looking forward to staying again soon.

Disappointed Second Time Around
Mattress too soft; minor problem with temperature control; significant problems in the operation of the TV. Hotel was built in 1908 in the quaint and beautiful city of Foley . Hotel furnishings are beautiful. This is our second stay at this hotel —this time in the presidential suite. Honestly, our first room was actually nicer.

We are very sorry you were not happy with your stay this time. Our TV's can be a little confusing that's why when we take our guests to their room we show them how to operate the TV's. We truly apologize if you had not been shown how to operate the TV.
