The property was very clean. I did not like that the popular bar is open to the public and it seems that more emphasis is placed on serving those patrons than the guests who paid an exorbitant nightly fee. The bar was very loud and grew louder as more drinks were served. Guests should be warned that it may be loud prior to check in

Great place to stay and support local business and have an experience instead of a chin hotel stay. The School House Inn exceeded expectations with cleanliness, convenient, great staff, comfortable beds, an extraordinary room that we would not get anywhere else. They exceed with the small touches. Snacks, and coffee and tea 24/7. responsive staff - even after hours. would love to come back for a longer stay.

My only disappointment was in not seeing a ghost during my stay here, as a local ghost tour had led me to believe that the property was haunted.

We totally enjoyed iue stay at the Schoolhouse Inn! The restoration of the historic building was amazing, and the room was very comfortable. Having the "Principal's Office" bar in the lobby was a nice plus! We never moved our vehicle, as everything was in walking distance...and the entire area is gorgeous! We highly recommend staying there!

My wife and I were very happy to find the Amelia School House Inn. We ended up arriving late, I called ahead to notify the staff and they were already sending me a message with late check-in instructions. Arrival was easy, the location felt secure, and the room was extremely clean! The property was neat and fit the theme of a school house. The bar on-site was a very cool feature. Staff was friendly and welcoming. The location is 5-6 blocks from the downtown shopping area, so you can take a easy walk to great shopping, food, and entertainment options. We will definitely come back.
