Lookaway Inn

Beautiful, restored, mansion located on lovely park like grounds in center of town and easy access to Augusta and Aiken. John the manager was helpful and friendly.

We so wanted to give Lookaway Inn not just a 10, but an 11 or 12 (See next comment box). The Inn itself is a magnificent facility, and its location couldn't have been more convenient. John, the Innkeeper, was so cordial and welcoming, even though we arrived a half-hour late. I thoroughly enjoyed our baseball discussion. The breakfast ladies could not have been friendlier.

We miss the traditional pre-Covid Bed and Breakfasts where the wonderful breakfast was served. Based on the pictures and the comments in booking.com, we expected a wonderful sit-down breakfast. We were underwhelmed. On the plus side, the omelet I was served was outstanding. However, having my breakfast entree served on a side plate with nothing else was a real disappointment. That omelet deserved hash browns (grits for real Southerners) and some bacon strips. There was a buffet table of cold items, but even that was sparse. I realize that there were very few guests, but still...... Overall, we had a great time, though, and would consider returning in the future.

Staff was very accommodating and provided excellent communication. The breakfast was scrumptious.

John is exceptionally welcoming — and knowledgeable about the location and history of this beautiful mansion. Linda was warm, hospitable, and clearly proud of this beautiful property. My room was well appointed, comfortable, and convenient to the amenities. I cannot say enough about the bed! Room darkening drapes, cool temps and a wonderful mattress..best sleep ever away from home!

I had no control over the air conditioning temperature and it was too cold overnight and in morning. But….there was a great warm blanket in the armoire that kept me warm enough for a great night’s sleep!
