Lovely place; great food at the Pub. All staff were very welcoming and customer service oriented. Loud noises several times throughout the night due to a wedding party at the pool.

6/10 Good

Hotel seems to have seen better days - everything a bit worn and tired. Dingey bathroom with dripping tap and chipped tub. Staff seemed bored and indifferent; breakfast poor.

The Pub at Merry Acres

We had a wonderful time. The Pub and especially Joel the amazing mixologist made the best esspresso martinis ever. He was so friendly and made our trip extra special.

10/10 Exceptional

It is an older property, but it has been thoughtfully updated with a sympathetic eye to the period in which it was built with modern comfort in mind. There is a lot to love about this property, but one must give the highest ranking to the staff. They are attentive, engaged, and so very kind.

Tatians, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is definitely an experience from days gone by. Built in the 1950s, it is the voice of class. The hotel is laid out as a “hotel village”, with multiple buildings that draw interest like a beautiful painting. Even though it is mildy in need of refurbishment, I would not have traded my stay! The huge and uncommonly shaped tub alone, is worth it to see. The staff is absolutely wonderful in totality, (very much appreciated). I will most assuredly return in the future for another enjoyable stay. Thank you Merry Acres Inn for being a reminder of when class was classy!!

Southern Charm and historical locations
David, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

The property is unique and a motel style which is charming. Our room was not very clean, the floor was sticky and seems like it needs a good scrubbing. There was left over bread in the refrigerator from a previous guest, our bath towels had toothpaste and hair on them from a previous guest so have a hunch the towels were not replaced after the previous guest. The pillows only had a cover on them and no encasement which is not very hygenic.

I didn’t feel safe in this hotel. It was more like a motel.
William, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I used to live in Albany and this place is a landmark. It is one of the few remnants of the old "motor courts" of the late 40's - early 50's. The staff eagerly helps with the old southern style. After an evening with old friends, I had a to go plate. Forgot I didn't live here & did not ask for a plastic fork. A staff member named Shawn

This is a very charming hotel. It could probably benefit from some upgrades but it is very clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and would come back in the future.

Southern charm

Nice quiet place to stay central to the city. Best place in the city to stay.
4-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff were friendly and efficient. We liked the chickens. However, the room was showing its age and seemed dirty and in poor repair. The "continental breakfast" was nearly non-existent and the coffee did not taste good.
Colin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a very historic hotel in Albany and I’m pleased to see it’s getting some TLC with new ownership. The Manor House Pub is a must visit with Allen and Joel being staples that bring me back year after year!
