The Woodward Hotel

Re

The room was great and there are a ton of things to do and places to eat within walking distance!

Good location and good sized room. Lack of house keeping, restocking of coffee and water bottles.

The location was great for walking around downtown Macon. It was close to restaurants, shops and a theater. The room was in an historic building where the character remained but the bathroom was nicely updated. The alley entrance to the parking was a little confusing and stopping in the alley to get the parking pass from the room was crowded with multiple vehicles stopped at the same time. Our room was right next to the entrance so we heard the lockbox when anyone entered throughout the night. Also, it would have been nice to check in before 4pm.

Nothing The location left me feeling unsafe and vulnerable from the moment I arrived. The parking garage is a dilapidated death trap with extremely low ceilings that made me fear for my vehicle. The adjacent alley was especially sketchy—on a Sunday it was littered with wandering vagrants and mentally ill individuals, and the overpowering smell made it clear it serves as the nearest “toilet” for the nearby square of restaurants and tattoo shops. The noise from people walking in the alley was extremely loud, and the view from my room of a boarded-up window on the abandoned building across the alley was just a kick in the butt. I would not go out after dark, especially alone. Entering the building was equally unnerving. I had to turn my back to the alley while standing in a tiny 3x3 brick enclosure just to punch in the digital code, with no way to see if anyone was approaching. Once inside, the only place to get ice was the “Bar,” which never opened during my stay. The room itself looked beautiful at first glance, and the bed appeared inviting—like a fluffy cloud—until I pulled back the sheets and discovered multiple holes that looked like they’d been chewed by mice. Thick dust and debris under the bed were so concerning that my allergies immediately flared up; it was obvious no one had cleaned properly in a long time. The Roku remote was covered in a heavy layer of gray dust, making it look nothing like its original black color, while the universal remote sat unused on the desk. The recently updated shower was the one nice feature, but the half-glass door failed to contain the water, flooding the bathroom floor and creating a serious slip-and-fall hazard. Before leaving in the morning, I even honked my truck horn to make sure no one had decided to sleep in the bed of my vehicle. Overall, Macon was a deeply disappointing stop on my drive to the coast.

Great staff

Our stay was so pleasant. We loved Quill and its staff. Obviously everything is automated, but I would have liked a responses to a booking question from a person also. It was an unlikely scenario to be repeated. I would easily stay here again.

It was in a historic district of downtown macon. It was very nice and comfortable.

Nice place. Don’t stay on the alley side 1st floor. Terrible garbage truck noise starting at 4:00 am.

It was very nice, easy in and out, great location, easy parking

Clean, easy to access

This was the easiest stay Ive ever had. No contact required, our room was right next to the bar, and it was a beautiful room.

Excellent accommodations

The accent pillow was soaked in air freshener and gave us both headaches. The desk had dust on it and there was only liter of water- for the rate we paid, I believe two bottles of water is Fair. Also, at 8:30 in the morning the door to our room opened suddenly. We are assuming by the Housekeeper? We had a dog traveling with us and we where sleeping in the bed. It could’ve been a disaster. Regardless, our sleep was disturbed. All things considered, I believe a lower room rate is more appropriate.

The location was perfect and very close to Macon City Auditorium. The room was nicely decorated and I appreciated the other amenities. It was close to restaurants and shops as well. I appreciated that the parking was free. The instructions for unloading and accessing the parking deck were incredibly hard to understand because you have to drive down small alleys to find it. They sent lots of written directions but if you don't know what you're looking for, it's really hard to find. It didn't help that it was raining when I was trying to find these alleys and doors and parking decks. A map or photos would be really helpful. The bed linens were clean, but also kinda scratchy. I kept hearing dripping within the walls, probably due to it just being an old building, but it made it hard to fall asleep.

The room was very nice and clean. Just make sure you check your spam folder the day before you checkin so you can get your code to the door since it’s contactless checkin!

Thankfully, my frantic call for help was promptly answered. The staff was extremely patient with a very tired and confused lady. My only complaint was that our room faced an alley: trash pickups at 3:30 am and 5 am were quite unpleasant. The location was wonderful. Lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance. I would stay there again if a room off the alley is available.

Great, unique place to stay! Quill next door is quaint and the mixologist was great!
