"Beautiful Place to Stay"

I was in the area to perform at a concert and booked two nights at the Sewanee Inn. From the moment I walked into the gorgeous entrance I knew I would really enjoy my stay. The rooms are spacious, very comfortable and have posh toiletries. I recommend the turn down service! The staff are very accommodating and friendly. I was able to check in a little early which helped me get to my rehearsal on time. I thoroughly enjoyed a tasty buffet breakfast and scrumptious dinner. Definitely leave room for the creme brulee dessert. The front desk personnel were very nice, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. All the staff were very attentive and always smiling. I hope that I have the opportunity to sing in Sewanee again and will definitely be returning to the Sewanee Inn.
