Had everything we needed including fridge microwave and coffee maker. Nice indoor pool and hot tub. Breakfast left a lot to be desired but Waffle House and Cracker Barrel very close by.

We stayed here on our way to Florida. The hotel is reasonably priced. It’s right off the highway. The hotel itself and the area were quiet. All in all, got a good night’s sleep and a much needed rest on the long drive.

The history of Roman Catholicism in Macon dates to a visit in 1829 by Bishop John England of the Diocese of Charleston and the subsequent migration of Irish Catholic families in the 1830s. In 1841, Macon's Catholics received their first pastor, Father James Graham. A succession of buildings and sites was purchased and used by Macon's Catholics during the nineteenth century, until the construction of St. Joseph's Catholic Church at this location from 1889-1903. This Gothic Revival structure, designed by Brother Cornelius Otten, features a domed cupola, flying buttresses, stained-glass windows from Bavaria, and a high altar of Carrara marble.
