Frommer's Review

The lovely 1890 King-Keith home, built by hardware magnate George King, is in Inman Park, a neighborhood of Victorian homes that is on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in the Queen Anne style, the B&B boasts 12-foot ceilings and carved fireplaces, plus a huge wraparound porch. Authentic period antiques add to the charm. The ambience is as warm as the hospitality.

Beds range from double to king-size, and each room has a private bathroom (two of the rooms have a hall bathroom, but it is not shared). The large downstairs suite has a private entrance and sitting room with an extra twin bed. The one-room cottage, which is very spacious, has a king-size bed, sitting area, two-person Jacuzzi, and fireplace. There are several gathering places for guests: the parlor, the large front porch, the upstairs porch, and the wicker-filled screened porch, which opens onto the garden.

Coffee is delivered to your room every morning, and the complete breakfast might include French toast, homemade pancakes, or eggs cooked to order. A nice touch is the small guest kitchen stocked with complimentary soft drinks, tea, bottled water, cookies, chips, and other snacks. The property is not far from the funky Little Five Points commercial district, the Martin Luther King, Jr., National Historic Site, the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum, and several restaurants. If you don't want to walk from the MARTA station, the hosts will pick you up with advance notice.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
