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.

The Inn is great and a real plus to the Sewanee community. The staff is not super nice and often seem a bit one edge. But by far it's the best place to stay in Sewanee. Food is great as well!

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.

The hotel was clean, staff was kind and informative. Parking was close and convenient. We ate at the restaurant and food was great. 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.
