I was surprised by all the negative reviews; I suspect part of it is that many people don't know what to expect from 19th-century houses in the South. The truth is, they will never be perfect—unless you have an endless reserve of money to dedicate to upkeep, and who does? I'd characterize this place as delightfully quirky. The neighborhood is scenic and historic, quiet, and seems quite safe. All or part of the main house is closed for renovations, so I was in one of the cottages next door, accessible via a path behind the house. My room was to the left, and another was directly across from me. There was also a small patio table on the deck outside where I sat and read one day during the rare pleasant Alabama weather (before it gets unbearably hot). The staff was helpful and friendly, and the owner always responded to messages. If sometimes it took a little long to actually get what I'd asked for, I'm fairly certain it's because they're short-staffed like everyone else in hospitality right now. I had no trouble checking in. The owner never did text me instructions, but she was on site when I arrived so there was really no need. Since it says toiletries are provided, I didn't pack any myself and there weren't any in the room when I got there. But I texted her, and she brought me what I needed even though it was 9 or 9:30 by then. In any case, I enjoyed my stay, and I hope I can go back and see it once the renovations are finished.

I am not sure if they rated this hotel 100 years ago but in this time line, a hostel is a 5 star compare to that death trap of place. Customers service is none existence. That place need to be shut down. The owners have given up on the upkeep and disregard all complaints. Read all reviews but my recommendations it to stay away. Do not waste your money and forget about the breakfast. Their is none and the place is filthy, you wouldn't want none anyway.

We were unable to stay at the Inn due to there not being anyone on the premises when we arrived and no answer to our phone calls and messages (even after waiting two hours). We then spent about an hour on an online chat with Expedia trying to get a refund and are still awaiting a response the next day.

NOT WHAT THEY PICTURED, NOTHING AS THE DISCRIBE. THE HOUSE WAS LOCK. NO ONE THERE, NO BREACKFAST, NOT EVEN A BOTTLE OF WATER OR COFFEE.

i thought i would have a room in this house, as the picture on the left shows; i was never allowed in this house, and was told to stay in some little home; it was okay, but i was looking forward to staying in where this picture is; and you also promised a breakfast, and there was NO breakfast; and i even had to ask for coffee; there was a tv, with cable, but you had blocked fox news!!! how dare you! what is going on there??? and i never really saw anyone associated with the hotel after i checked it, rather strange; overall it was okay, like the history of the place, the location, and the unique shotgun house; so....1. undo the blocking of fox news, 2. have breakfast as you promised, 3. floring in the bath should be looked into....

The property was not as represented. The location was great however the property was in need of repair. We did not get the room we booked. The proprietor said we were upgraded to a cottage. Sounded good until we arrived. There was mold on the bed pillow. The thermostat control face was broken off and when we managed to turn the heat on, the dust was annoying. We checked and the HVAC register was Clogged with dust and there was no filter. There was mold on the bathroom ceiling, and the shower floor was in need of a good cleaning. The only closet in the property had a broken door handle making it nearly impossible to open. The toilet ran all night until I shut off the water supply. We were told no breakfast because we were upgraded. It would have been nice if this were communicated prior to arriving. The unit had a full kitchen unfortunately there was only 1 coffee cup. The proprietor seemed very nice and welcoming on the phone but when we pointed out the shortcomings and decided to check out, she told us that the mold was just a stain, and that we were too pickey. We paid for one night of our 4 night stay and checked out. The manager did authorize a refund for the remaining nights. I suspect the proprietor doesn't have the resources to keep the facilities up to code. It is very unfortunate because the location is very good and the property has lots of potential.

Pretty disappointed. We stayed in one of the cottages and not many things worked correctly. The toilet leaked so it refilled every few minutes the entire stay. The tub dripped, the front door handle didn’t work, the shower light didn’t work, and the bathroom door had been chewed extensively by a dog at some point. It just didn’t seem like there was much attention to detail. Very dated but not in a cool restored way. The mirror hung over the fireplace was so off center it was comical. Overall we were really disappointed.

Decor is beautiful, hostess very friendly, breakfast as expected, but physical plant needs attention. Perfectly clean and safe. Problems brought to attention of hostess, and I assume that they will soon be corrected. NO FRONT DESK--must check in by telephone.

This house is a beautiful home built in 1870 in a great neighborhood just 2-3 blocks away from some great dining options. The room we stayed in was nice but there were a few issues that we experienced. *The toilet ran constantly. When we arrived, the toilet was shut completely off. I turned the water back on from the valve behind the toilet and the water ran continuously. We had to keep the bathroom door shut to lessen the noise it made. *The television didn't work. There was no remote to the cable box and no batteries in the television remote. They brought us a cable remote but to turn the tv on, you had to get up and switch it on at the tv. *There was only one bar of soap left in the bathroom. We had to ask for another bar of soap for the shower. There were no small bottles of shampoo left either. *The handle for the hot water in the shower broke off. You had to jam the handle back in to get the hot water to turn on. *There was only one roll of almost used up toilet paper left in the bathroom. We had to ask for more TP as well. *We never received check-in or check-out instructions. I walked into the B&B after arriving there and had no idea where I was supposed to go. After calling three times, I got somebody to answer the phone and direct me to which room I should go to. When I voiced my disappointment regarding our experience, they suggested that I might should find another place to stay in Columbus. The toilet and shower handle were never fixed.

Great stay!

The outside property was very well maintained... much shade from trees which was perfect for this time of year... nice, quiet neighborhood... location very convenient to downtown... Property manager checked on us for arrival time and checked us in.... Property manager very personable, kind, and professional... any request was answered.... Breakfast on the porch was great... I would recommend this property to anyone desiring a nice, quiet experience... we plan to go back again...

We reserved the J S Springer cottage, a stand alone 2 room plus bath unit, and were required to prepay for it. When we arrived we told them we had reserved that .cottage and were told we were getting a 1 room suite with no explanation and no refund of the lower priced room. we received 1 wash cloth, 1 hand towel and 2 bath towels and never received replacements during our 3 day 2 nite stay. several lights did not work and the electrical outlets next to the sink and mirror did not work even with GFI buttons. No drinking glasses/containers and no ice available/provided. There was supposed to be an iron & ironing board in the room, but there wasn't. When we asked for one right after check in we didn't get it until after breakfast the next day when we found it outside our door upon our return. The place was very clean and the atmosphere was pleasant.

Our stay was just not good. The host seemed like a great person, but we were not given times for guest events by the host. There was an overgrowth of miss on the entry stairs. The cottage smelled dank. The hot water for the shower was inoperable. The stove was inoperable. The bed frame was broken, and there were bugs in the bed. I love the area, but this stay was jot IT!

It's a beautiful place don't get me wrong but it does need a deep cleaning I got bit by two brown recluse spiders I believe I had to go to the doctor when I walked into the room it was very hot and muggy and it smells very old there was four inch of dust everywhere the bed even felt moist the lady had no concern for me being downstairs he came downstairs and literally turned down off all day AC slam the door at 3:30 in the morning then walked upstairs to her room that was obviously right above mine and stomped and complained until 5:30 a.m. I wouldn't recommend staying here

Awesome place - We will be coming back!

Lovely place in a fine neighborhood. We had a nice room in a bungalow behind the main house. Lovely happy hour and full breakfast on the front porch, under shade trees and accompanied by the resident house cat. Owner was engaging and helpful. The house is lovely, very nicely maintained and furnished. Much attention to detail. Fully recommended. We also had a lovely dinner at Epic restaurant- also recommended.

The location was great and walkable to the nearby park.

We graded our stay at the Rothschild-Pound House Inn a “B”. The property was fairly clean but there were areas in need of replacement/updating/repair such as the window air conditioning unit in our room. It did not adequately lower the humidity in the room and the fan speed control did not adjust downward so it blew directly onto the bed. The shower curtain was not waterproof, therefore water escaped and ran onto the 3 steps leading up to the shower-a hazardous situation! The furniture, window treatments and decor could stand to be refreshed. On the plus side, the owner was welcoming and fun to converse with! She made an excellent dining recommendation and made the reservation for us. This B and B is the only one I found in Columbus and would consider returning if more attention is given to the property.

The property itself was beautiful and staff were extremely accommodating/helpful. However the room had no toilet paper or trash can, our doorknob fell off, and the bedroom door didn’t fully shut.

This is an amazing historic house built in the 1800s but fully renovated with modern comforts. Fresh donuts, coffee/tea, yogurt and juices all complimentary. We left the fireplace in our room on all night. They had fresh flowers in our bedroom and our bathroom. We sat on the balcony and enjoyed our drinks under the full moon. I felt like I was on the set of Downton Abby

Breeze of a check in process. Outdoor fire pit was a plus in a cold night. Room has character and was clean/comfortable.

Short trip to Columbus. Room had a lot character. Like the neighborhood. My only suggestion might be to include a couple of drinking glasses or bottles of water in the room. No way to get a drink of water.

I Love this place from the minute I saw it , being a Historic Home , that is the most amazing thing about it , the way that is decorated , the way the property is Lay out , Service was a Plus I will definitely stay in this property Again on my next trip to Georgia . Big Thank you to the Owners of the property Mamie Willoughby Thank you again for doing so a great job with the Place

We reserved this hotel through Expedia but when we showed up, staff stated that he did not have a room for us and gave us no explanation. We called owner;s number but did not answer either. Shocking story is that we were charged for the room that they turned us away. Expedia assured us for refund but buyers be aware!. Please check all negative review before you book. This occurs frequently.

WiFi is lousy. Overall the property is comfortable.

Beautiful bed and breakfast close to Convention Center and the River District. Very welcoming staff and wonderful large rooms. Quiet street close to everything. I stayed here several years ago and cane back when I had a meeting in town. This was a great experience. Highly recommended if you find yourself in the area.

I loved the Rothschild-Pound House Inn. This was my first experience at a B&B, and I was very pleased with it. The character and ambience provided a romantic setting for a weekend getaway with my husband. The work they have done there is definitely a labor of love in bringing historic houses to former glory. It did have some draw backs, however, as they were doing refurbishing work on a room adjacent to ours, we could sometimes hear it. They have big plans for their backyard garden, and it is a work in progress. I had such a wonderful experience there, I would recommend to a friend!

Love the hotel it was awesome! Can't wait to go back

To begin with the area feels very unsafe although they said it was fine. However, there is no way to secure the room from the inside and keys are used over and over so anyone could get in. The mattress was extremely old and sagged. Sheets and towels were clean so that was a plus. Our cottage floor sloped I would guess 12 inches from one side to the other which they say is "quaint". My husband and I stayed one night and left as early as we could the next morning! Positives: staff was friendly and the sheets were clean. Negatives - just about everything else!
