Rothschild-Pound House Inn

This was a disappointing experience, especially considering this was a special trip to see a family member in RS. The room was not ready upon check in, and the owner asked us to come back later. When we came back, we found out the room we booked was not available, and instead a small room with one bed was offered. We had been traveling all day and my phone was dead, so I made the mistake of staying. The services listed, like champagne and breakfast, are not available. Our room didn't have a functional bathroom door, and we left as soon as we could. After communicating with the owner, she told me breakfast is an additional cost.

Lovely. Considering the age of the property it was in great condition and very clean. The breakfast was excellent and the furnishings were charming.

Definitely a Bed, no Breakfast. We were escaping for the weekend and my wife had been emailing/texting with owner about our visit. We arrived at checkin time and had to text have someone show us to our room. They were busy helping prep a contestant for Miss Georgia Comptwtuon that night. We were told there was no evening reception, as listed on website, and there was no sit down breakfast, that we are accustomed to when web site says free breakfast as part of the Inn title. We were put in the Governor Forsythe Suite, which had a Jacuzzi tub and fire place. The shower function in the tub was a bit awkward and steps out of tub could be slippery. The power dropped out on our room, killing the AC that eas cooling room down. Power in main house was going and response was slow to our inquiry about issue. We went to dinner and the issue was resolved when we got back. It was also odd that the room had not ability to drink water -either bottled or cups from the tap. Bed was pretty comfortable. We did have some nice cinnamon rolls waiting for us on the porch and could make Kuerig Coffee. Nice historic home, but not worthy of previous ratings or price for the experience you receive.

Two months ago I made a reservation at this Bed & Breakfast for this week, and chose one of the cottages that is across the street from the main house. The morning we were arriving, the owner called and mentioned that they were renovating that cottage and that she had moved us to the one next to it. We should have been told beforehand; poor communication on her part. She said that the cottage was the same size, but the one we had chosen was advertised as sleeping four and this one only slept two; and since they were side by side we could see that one was longer so definitely had more space. She said we could go directly to the cottage; no need to come to the main house. The cottage needed TLC and the bathtub had mold, but I am not getting into details. Shortly after, we walked to the main house to meet her and ask a few questions but the door was locked. I called her and she did not answer. I texted her and she said she was not there but we could text, so I started asking my questions mainly at what time is breakfast and also the cocktail hour that they advertise. She said she was doing neither because they were renovating! A B&B that does not offer breakfast??? We definitely should have been told this beforehand! A simple email stating this would have been the right thing to do. I texted that to her and said we were very disappointed and as we continued to text, she came out of the house; so she was inside the entire time and had said she was not at home. I hate when people lie to me; totally wrong. One of the reasons we love staying in B&Bs is because the owners are proud of their place and they are hospitable; NOT here. She became rude and we left. Very disappointed of the interaction and total lack of communication. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else!!!

Really rather disappointing. we had high hopes as it looked a nice building and the room was interesting enough, but there was little by way of amenities in the room, or in the main house and no breakfast was offered. In the morning, we just left as there appeared to be no one around. You could park outside in the street and Columbus is an interesting place itself to visit.

I wouldn't stay here again...even if it was free. I'll just hit the major points, First...even though at the time of booking it was advertised as a bed and breakfast...and our booking stated breakfast included, we received nothing. Not even coffee! I texted the owner the night before about the details for breakfast. It took her 10 hours to respond, only to tell us they aren't serving breakfast and she'd be happy to recommend restaurants and coffee shops. Second...we were only staying one day. Since we weren't being served the advertised breakfast or coffee we decided to just pack up and leave. We went to take a shower and the hot water in the shower didn't work. I messaged the owner at 9:10 am. She messaged me back at 11:52 am. Mind you, check out was at 11:00 am and we had already left the property. So beside no breakfast and no coffee we also had no shower. We were staying at the cottage across the street. The owner may say texting is not her preferred method of communication, but seriously..its 2022. We're across the street, not in the same building. If she can get a phone call she can get a text. On top of all this, the hot water and the lack of providing breakfast were all known issues to the owners. Just read the other bad reviews about it. You're now for-warned...and I'm not even telling you about the lack of cleanliness (for which we have pictures) or her insulting text messages (which are still on my phone). Can't wait for their snarky response

Mamie was very helpful with reserving the reservation for our one night stay. She called that day to ask what time we would be arriving (to accommodate her house cleaning schedule), and asked about any food diets or restrictions. I told her we were trying to do low carb and omelettes would be great on Saturday morning. She assured me she would accommodate. We arrived that night, to great other guests staying there for a convention. They were very nice. Wine and cheese was served, although she was out of red wine when we arrived (bummer). The room we stayed in (Edward Lloyd Thomas Suite) was nice, but there were some large tears in the drapes, as they were antique and sun worn. It was in a historic home and was generally nice. Very nice neighborhood and seemed relatively safe. We assumed breakfast was going to be served in the morning, and we showed up to the serving area at 8:15A.M. The lights were all off and the doors were clearly locked. We came back about 10:30A.M., after going to visit the downtown area. Mamie said she served breakfast at 9:00A.M. and we had missed it. She also said a text was sent. After checking my phone, I never received any texts and none of the other guests knew of a breakfast. While this wasn't a horrible experience, I would prefer a cleaner hotel next time. I was kind of disappointed by this bed and breakfast to celebrate my anniversary.

Excellent friendly service. Comfortable and pleasant stay.

The RPH Inn was a great and comfortable stay. Mamie Pound was amazingly friendly and responsive. Daily breakfast and wine in the evening was provided. Highly recommend. Will stay again.
