"We stayed at the magnolia Inn from July 23rd thru July 26 for 3 nights. We ordered 2 Deluxe rooms and we were very disappointed at the rooms. The rooms were antiquated, windows were shut and we could not open them, The Ac needed to be adjusted from the corridor and somehow it did not work and we froze for two nights until we asked someone to shut the louvers. The covers were dirty with nail polish and were not..."

"Stayed here the night of the Wine walk and it made everything so much more convenient. Perfect location for bouncing around to each wine walk venue. Our room was beautiful and the town was so peacefully quiet at night."

"We had the sweetest 1 year anniversary trip here. We love pinehurst but magnolia Inn made our trip above and beyond what we expected. It’s within a very short walking distance to everything. Couldn’t imagine our two night stay being better!! My wife wanted coffee, and so one of the workers took us downstairs, showed us their Italian espresso maker, and even made us a couple of espresso shots even when the restaurant was closed. How welcoming. We felt warm..."

"A quaint and charming place for any function. The Inn is within walking distance of some historic Pinehurst shops. The food was very good and the staff was excellent. This is an historic place with lots of character but maybe a bit short on new amenities. Overall I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it."

"A great place to stay. The recently renovated rooms are comfortable, quiet, and well-appointed. The in-room Nespresso and welcome basket of local goods were great touches. Breakfast in the Carolina Dining Room and dinner downstairs at Villaggio are wonderful ways to start and end the day. My only complaint - Magnolia room keys don’t work at the resort fitness center, so you can’t access that amenity until they can get that fixed."

"This is such a comfortable and cozy place! When you walk through the front door it's almost like you go back in time. The structure is original on the bottom floor, but the top floor was removed so the view of the Carolina hotel would not be blocked. The Inn has a very interesting history as well as very professional and welcoming staff!"
