We really enjoyed our stay at the Sewanee Inn. The room was wonderful, the beds comfortable, the amenities like the shower products were top shelf, and our dining experience was lovely too. There was nothing negative to say about our stay. The staff was the most helpful we had ever encountered.

Great Hotel!! Super duper clean. The cleanest I ever seen Only recommendation is to add a gift shop that has snacks and toiletries. Also need to put a microwave somewhere that’s accessible. Great stay

This hotel is nice! It was nice that the rooms are on one side and the restaurant is on the other. Beautiful lobby and entryway. There was a fire going in the lobby when we arrived which made it feel cozy. The beds were soft which made for a great nights sleep! We definitely would stay here again! We stayed here to go to The Caverns for an event so it was ideal location.
