    Never having been to Columbus, knowing no one I selected the Garden Manor and crossed my fingers. I was so lucky to find this place! The owners are old-school welcoming and new-school helpful. Their home is a comfortable and intriguing museum. They know how to provide quiet while welcoming good conversation. And, don't get me going on breakfast! Every day a tasty, unique, and beautiful gem. Their neighborhood is a bit grim - but don't be put off. Their place is an oasis of safe greenery overlooking some lovely historic homes. I would recommend their home to anyone - young and naive students, parents with young kids, and senior citizens alike. And, when Allen found out I needed to get across town to move to a work-provided hotel for the rest of my Columbus stay , he put me in his car and drove me! Talk about service above and beyond expectations!

    I highly recommend this bed and breakfast who wants to have an experience to remember. A very festive breakfast served by two wonderful people. The rooms were decorated in awesome colors and very quiet to the noise outside. We had a wonderful time chatting with the owners and found out they know some people we knew. It indeed made our weekend very memorable. Plan on staying again sometime.

    After traveling for 12 hours we were warmly welcomed at the Garden Manor, even after we arrived after the check-in hours. Our room was comfortable, clean and welcoming. The breakfasts were wonderful and different each morning we were there. The whole house was beautifully decorated. The location was also close to the downtown conference center. We will be back when we're in the area. Great job, guys!

    Beautifully restored century home, 2 gracious hosts and a sumptuous gourmet breakfast. Only regret is that we were only there for one night.
