Sugar Magnolia Bed & Breakfast

Hello, our names are Eliana and Sabina from Italy and we stayed in SM for 2 days last week. more

We loved this charming B&B in an area of old, gracious homes. It felt like being in The Old South, and Sugar Magnolia was an excellent place to stay. There were so many charming touches in both the home and our room. We stayed in the Royal Suite but would like to stay in the Cottage next time. Debi gave us a tour and showed us all the rooms. We would have been happy in any of them! The Royal Suite had 2 balconies, and it was lovely sitting in the sun and reading. Breakfasts on both mornings were homemade and special. Our breakfast companions were enjoyable, and we lingered over coffee. Debi and Jim, the hosts, were very gracious and obviously proud of their beautiful home. We hope to return soon and will definitely stay here again. Pros: Lovely area; charming home; excellent service; wonderful breakfasts more

This was an exceptional value and much more relaxing than staying at a hotel in the city. This house had wonderful charm and great caretakers. The Aviary room cost less than the Mariott hotel where other members of my family were staying for a wedding. This room had painted ceilings, antique furnishings, a breathtaking view, and access to a private bathroom. The bed and sheets were exquisite. The breakfast was light and just enough to get me started in this city known for all its great food, I wanted to save room for the world famous resturants in the area. This B&B is located near Little Five Points which is a cool place to walk around and get a sense of what makes Atlanta unique. I felt very at ease with walking around and exploring. Overall a great pick and I will return! Pros: Great location, good value, and excellent service Cons: Which room to pick! more

We loved our stay at Sugar Magnolia. She's a beautiful mansion built in the 1890's, so the occasional creak is to be expected and only adds to her charm. The Royal Suite is romantic in every way, with its canopied sleeping room, heavenly king-size bed, huge bathroom and oversized spa tub. In addition, we had both a deck and a balcony at our disposal. Breakfast, served in the lovely dining room, was delicious. We had time for several visits with Jim and Debi and learned a lot about Atlanta in the process. Jim played incredible jazz, blues, ragtime and gospel for us on the piano, and we enjoyed the privilege of looking through one of Debi's photo albums from her years on Atlanta's City Council. In both instances -- the music and the public service -- we were in awe. Having stayed in quite a number of B&B's, we always go in knowing that we're in essence being invited into someone's home and each experience is different. We much prefer it over the impersonal nature of a hotel stay. In light of our experience at Sugar Magnolia, we hope to make it our home-away-from-home on future visits to Atlanta. more

Nice old Queen Ann home. Pretty room, green and white, overlooking beautiful gardens. Home has had lots of TLC and it shows. Bed seemed new and was incredibly comfortable! Owners made you feel welcome and were discreet. Only disappointment was lack of a special breakfast. Maybe we've been spoiled by other B&Bs in the past. Fruit bowl was good but I expected more. Parking was right outside. Pros: beautiful old home, friendly hosts, close to downtown Cons: disappointing breakfa, no lock on rm door more
