Check im was fine. Room was tiny pool was tiny and packed. Tub plunger was broke toilet paper was mounted to the opposite wall as the toilet and was broken. All appliances where some off brands ive never seen. Bed was hard as a board no plug ins by the night stands. Went to breakfast. Only offerings where cereal a few bagels and a waffle maker. Again no plates to put said waffles on. Syrup was a gallon jug help yourself. Also had sausage biscuits in a fridge. No microwave though. Took one of those back to the room. Took 4 min in the cheap little microwave to get it warm. Then was like rubber.

I cannot see why anyone would choose a chain hotel if a room at the Grande Magnolia is available. Our weekend in Benson, NC was exceptional due in large part to staying at the Grande Magnolia. When we arrived we were greeted at the door by a man who knew us by name. We were shown to our room and given a one on one explanation of some of the features and history of the hotel. We walked to the historic downtown area and when we returned we were greeted by Ms. Nancy, the owner. Her passion for the Grande Magnolia radiates uninhibited. The attention to detail and quest for historical accuracy permeates the design decisions made for this magnificent building. The Grande Magnolia serves breakfast every morning (I believe). While we were there no less than seven families came to the restaurant, so it’s popular with the locals. True to the spirit of “bed and breakfast”, our morning meal was included with our stay. The staff was on the ball and we never had to ask for coffee refills. Checkout was a breeze. I would very much recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique experience in the Four Oaks, Benson or Dunn area.

It was great

Overall the hotel was fine. I appreciated the trails at the lake nearby. My room had a door to an adjoining room. The door had a large gap underneath so I could hear everything happening in the adjoining room. I asked for a new room but they said they were full and could not accommodate me.

Love this hotel! Beautiful decor, clean rooms, great vibes.
