    Very pleasant experience. Arrived at 5PM, room was ready and our hostess was very nice and helpful. She provided good recommendations for two different types of places to eat dinner. The rooms are older in style but have the amenities. we were blessed and got the one w/ in room bathroom. Breakfast is a normal southern type affair. probably the only downside is the yard/garden definitely needs work.

    Let me start by saying neither I nor my family knew the owner, Kathryn, before this visit. As with anything that's almost two hundred years old you would expect some wear and tear and Kathryn is discovering this almost daily. The OLDEST home in Bainbridge, GA, Kathryn purchased The Commodore in May from two men who lost their love of the place after 15 years of ownership. In some corners it shows, in others it does not but what makes the difference is the zeal and attitude Kathryn is attacking these issues with. She has big plans for The Commodre and Bainbridge as a town and if the Chamber of Commerce and Mayor have any sense they'd take at least some of what she envisions to heart. I live in the fastest growing town in America with more than 150k people in it and they've done an AMAZING job growing their historic end business. Much of what they have done echoes what Kathryn wants for Bainbridge and The Commodore. I would easily recommend The Commodore to anyone wanting true Southern hospitality and a comfortable and beautiful place to rest between shopping excursions. Kathryn's excitement for The Commodore is contagious and her great service and dedication should be rewarded with much repeat business. I know we will see her again soon. On a side note, for breakfast order the homemade biscuits with local honey. That's worth the trip and we drove 900 miles... Steve P. McKinney, TX

    Three of us were traveling on business to the Bainbridge area and stayed here for about 10 days. Quinton and Phil did everything they possibly could to accomodate us. We were working greuling, long hours and it was always a delight to come back "home." The house is absolutely beautiful and decorated exquisitely. Everything was clean and cozy and at the same time spacious. The linens on the beds were ironed and Quinton and Phil accomodated our schedules every day, with very early breakfasts and late arrivals home. The breakfasts were outstanding, the service was top notch, and we could not have had a more pleasurable experience. My only regret is that I could not spend more time at the house and the gardens. Thank you so much, guys, for a very special stay! If ever in the area again, I will definitely come back! Susan, Sam and Drew

    I took my wife there this weekend for our 26th Anniversary. Quinton was exceptional from the reservation phone call to when we said goodbye after a fantastic weekend. The Commodore Bed and Breakfast is decorated beautifully. Everything was clean and perfect. The food at breakfast was delicious. A truly wonderful relaxing experience. Thanks again Quinton! Chris S.
