The Woodward Hotel

My daughter and I booked a room here, we didn’t stay the night. The area around the hotel felt isolated and unsafe, there were many buildings that appeared to be vacant and unkempt, the lack of foot traffic along the street and the unfortunate circumstance of two homeless people lying on the sidewalk, all convinced us we should stay somewhere else.

The rooms are beautifully appointed. The check-in via email is wonderful and easy! They thought of every possible amenity like toothbrushes, mini tooth pastes, great coffee and tea. The bed is so comfortable with crisp clean sheets. They did not spare an expense even down to a noise machine as you are staying in a downtown hotel! I would stay again!

We had noted in our reservation we were staying here for our wedding night as well as followed up to the provided customer service email to inquire about any welcome package or decorating of the room that they may do for the special event.

Furthermore, the ac was stuck on a high fan setting which made the room almost arctic and fre

Also I used Capital One to book this. I never received the email for the codes to get in. However I called the number on the reservation and they answered quickly and helped me out. I bet if I used their website it would have worked.

I wanted to love The Woodward … and in many ways, I did. I want to love everything about Macon, because it’s a small city with such heart, history, and creative energy and it really deserves recognition for all the good that’s happening there. The Woodward reflects that entrepreneurial spirit beautifully. My room was small but very thoughtfully designed, with high-end bedding, tall ceilings, and plenty of stylish details that made it feel intentional and well cared for. It included a small refrigerator, coffee maker, and a large-screen TV that connects through your own streaming accounts … a nice modern touch. This isn’t a traditional hotel but a self-service concept - no staffed front desk, entry via emailed door codes, and parking at a nearby garage (the pass and garage code are inside
