Hotels in Warm Springs GA: What Is Open Now

Hotel Warm Springs Bed and Breakfast Inn

Hotel Warm Springs sits at 47 Broad Street in the middle of the historic town. The Georgia tourism listing says the inn dates to 1907 and kept its original architecture. The same listing says the building hosted notable guests during the Roosevelt years.

The listing names free parking, a complimentary breakfast, an in-room refrigerator, a hair dryer and an iron. Rooms come in one, two and three-bedroom layouts. The inn welcomes pets, families and groups. A Mayfield ice cream parlor and fudge shop operates on site.

The listing places the inn within walking distance of four restaurants and about 500 yards from the Little White House. The Meriwether County Chamber of Commerce also lists the inn at 47 Broad Street under phone number 706-655-2114.

Neither source gives check-in or check-out times. The listings disagree on Wi-Fi, with one entry reading free and another reading charged. Call 706-655-2114 to confirm both before you book.

Pick Hotel Warm Springs if you want a historic building, a walk to town and a short stroll to the main attraction.

Meriwether Country Inn

Meriwether Country Inn stands at 5675 Spring Street. The Georgia tourism listing gives the phone number as 706-655-9099. The listing puts the inn less than a mile from the Little White House. Frommer’s describes the inn as about one mile from Roosevelt’s retreat, so two sources agree on the short distance.

Both sources name a continental breakfast. Rooms have a microwave and a refrigerator. Wi-Fi is free. Frommer’s adds coffee-making facilities and says reception is staffed around the clock. The tourism listing adds cable TV, a hair dryer, an iron and a hot tub filled with Warm Springs water.

Frommer’s places Franklin D. Roosevelt State Park about 10 miles away and Callaway Gardens about 16 miles away. The tourism listing says the inn suits families, weddings and honeymoons.

The inn has its own website, but the site blocks automated reading, so we could not read the site. We found no check-in or check-out times. Call the inn to confirm them.

Pick Meriwether Country Inn if you want a simple room close to town with breakfast included and a hot tub after a day of sightseeing.

Aiden by Best Western Warm Springs Hotel and Event Center

This is the chain option and the best fit if you want a standard hotel. The Best Western listing gives the address as 2526 Whitehouse Parkway. Expedia lists the same address as 2526 White House Parkway, so two sources agree on the location.

Expedia lists check-in from 2:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM. The property has a seasonal outdoor pool, free parking, free in-room Wi-Fi, a 24-hour gym and a business center. Expedia also lists a restaurant, a bar and a small store. A full breakfast is available for an added fee. Rooms have refrigerators and microwaves.

Expedia says the property is smoke-free and allows dogs, with limits on number and size. Call the hotel for the pet rules before you bring an animal. Service animals follow separate rules.

The name includes Event Center, so weddings and group events share the building. Ask about event dates when you book if you want a quiet weekend. We could not confirm the opening date of the hotel, and we did not verify the pool season. Call the front desk for the exact pool dates.

Pick Aiden by Best Western if you want brand standards, a gym and a restaurant under one roof.

Mountain Top Inn and Resort on Pine Mountain

Mountain Top Inn and Resort uses a Warm Springs mailing address. The main office and the inn rooms sit at 177 Royal Lodge Drive. The Mountain Top Lodge sits at 7288 Georgia Highway 190. The resort’s own site says the property lies between the towns of Pine Mountain and Warm Springs and is surrounded by Roosevelt State Park. A Facebook listing and Booking.com repeat the Royal Lodge Drive address.

The resort rents private log cabins, lodge rooms and inn rooms. The resort says its cabins hold up to nine bedrooms. The resort lists a mountainside pool and wedding spaces. The resort welcomes dogs in select cabins and lodge rooms. Call 706-663-4719 for the pet rules.

Check-out is no later than 10:00 AM. The front desk keeps shorter hours than a city hotel. Hours run from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM Sunday through Thursday and 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM on Friday and Saturday. Plan a late arrival ahead of time, because the resort asks late guests to notify the desk 48 hours before check-in.

The resort says cabins carry a two-night minimum, and holidays can raise the minimum. The resort requires a deposit when you book. Guests must be at least 18 for rooms and 21 for cabins. All units are non-smoking.

Cell coverage varies and the resort offers satellite internet only. Do not plan to work remotely from a cabin. The resort states no accessible accommodations are offered because of the age and layout of the property. Travelers who need step-free access should look at the other properties on this page.

The resort puts Callaway Gardens a 14-minute, 9.1-mile drive away. Pick Mountain Top Inn if you want woods, cabins and a quiet base for state park hiking.

Where to Stay in Warm Springs by Travel Style

Match the property to the trip. Each choice below rests on the facts we confirmed above.

History buffs who want to walk should pick Hotel Warm Springs. The listing places the inn about 500 yards from the Little White House. Meriwether Country Inn also sits close, at under a mile by two sources.

Travelers who want chain standards should pick Aiden by Best Western. The property lists a gym, a restaurant and a business center. Road trippers will like the free parking.

Families who want space should look at the cabins at Mountain Top Inn and Resort. The resort says cabins reach nine bedrooms. Families who want to stay in town should ask Hotel Warm Springs about its three-bedroom units.

Couples after quiet should consider the lodge rooms at Mountain Top Inn or the hot tub at Meriwether Country Inn.

Travelers with mobility needs should call before booking anywhere. The mountain resort offers no accessible rooms, in its own words. We found no accessibility details for the other three properties, so ask each one directly.

Motels Near the Little White House

Many travelers search for a motel near the Little White House. We did not find a classic roadside motel in Warm Springs itself. The town offers an inn, a bed and breakfast, a chain hotel and a mountain resort. If you want a budget motel, check nearby towns such as Pine Mountain and LaGrange. The Georgia State Parks site lists both towns among attractions near the Little White House, but we did not research their lodging for this guide.

Meriwether Country Inn comes closest to a simple motel stay, with a basic room, breakfast and a spot close to the center of town.

Things to Do in Warm Springs Near Your Hotel

Roosevelt’s Little White House State Historic Site is the main draw. Franklin Delano Roosevelt built the house in 1932 while he served as governor of New York. He first came to Warm Springs in 1924 hoping to find a cure for polio. He died at the house on April 12, 1945.

Read the current status before you plan around the house. The Georgia State Parks site says the historic area is temporarily closed for renovation until further notice. The closed area includes the house, the servant quarters and the guest house. The museum, the grounds, the Flags and Stones of America Walk and the Unfinished Portrait stay open. The same page lists the Historic Warm Springs Pools as closed for repair. Call the site at 706-655-5870 before you visit.

The park site also lists guided tours of the Little White House on Saturday and Sunday at 10:00 AM. Because the house is closed, ask whether tours are running.

The Georgia State Parks page lists other places near the site. These include Callaway Gardens, Franklin D. Roosevelt State Park, Hills and Dales Estate, the Warm Springs National Fish Hatchery, Pine Mountain, LaGrange and Columbus.

The Mountain Top Inn site adds the Wild Animal Safari, Roosevelt Stables and the Warm Springs Winery as local options. Hours change, so check each before you drive.

Callaway Resort and Gardens Is Not in Warm Springs

Our earlier version of this guide listed Callaway Resort and Gardens as a Warm Springs hotel. Callaway Gardens lies outside town. Frommer’s puts the gardens about 16 miles from Meriwether Country Inn. The resort is a drive away from town, so we removed the listing.

If you want the gardens, you can stay in Warm Springs and drive over for the day.

Old Listings We Dropped

The earlier guide named a Warm Springs Inn and Restaurant and a Hope Inn. We found no current source for either name, so we dropped both. If you see these names on another travel site, call the phone number and confirm the business exists before you pay a deposit.

We kept the Mountain Top Inn listing because the resort runs a current website and booking page. We also kept the Meriwether Country Inn. The old guide called the inn steps from the Little White House. Two sources place the inn under a mile away, so we now say under a mile.

How to Book a Warm Springs Hotel

Warm Springs has few rooms. Book early for fall weekends, spring holidays and wedding dates. The mountain resort and the chain hotel both host weddings, and events can fill their rooms.

Call before you pay. Ask about check-in and check-out times, the pet rules, breakfast hours, parking and any resort or event fees. Ask which rooms sit away from event space.

Plan to drive. Warm Springs has little public transport, and each property sits several minutes from the next. The Aiden listing places Atlanta’s airport 55 miles away, according to a TripAdvisor snippet we could not open in full, so treat the figure as unconfirmed.

What We Checked and What We Could Not

We checked the Georgia tourism listings for Hotel Warm Springs and Meriwether Country Inn. We checked the Meriwether County Chamber of Commerce listing and Frommer’s. We read the Expedia and Best Western listings for Aiden. We read the Mountain Top Inn website and its FAQ page. We read the Georgia State Parks page for the Little White House.

We could not confirm check-in and check-out times for Hotel Warm Springs or Meriwether Country Inn. We could not read the Meriwether Country Inn website. We did not check recent reviews or pool and hot tub hours. We did not check whether any property has changed owners this year. We state no prices because rates change daily.

Search tools limited our research, so we found only four current lodging properties. A few small rentals may exist beyond the four we found. Check Expedia above for additional listings.
