Americus Garden Inn Bed & Breakfast Awarded 2018 Travelers’ Choice Award

Americus Garden Inn Bed & Breakfast Awarded 2018 Travelers’ Choice Award

I feel like one of those people on one of those award shows who doesn’t know who they should thank first.  This is the ninth time in twelve years that we have been recognized as one of the best B&Bs in the country by TripAdvisor with a Travelers’ Choice Award.  These awards are based upon the opinions of millions of travelers who share their voices and their experiences.   I feel incredibly humbled and blessed.

Before I express appreciation for all the supporting cast that help us create a memorable experience here in Americus, I’d like to share some of my thoughts about Americus, in general.

What sets Americus apart, makes it different from anywhere else you might visit?  Located a short distance from Americus is Andersonville, the most infamous Civil War prison site.  A symbol of despair and hopelessness, and a reminder of America’s past.  To the west, just a short distance from Americus is Plains, home of our 39^th President, Jimmy Carter.  President Carter embodies the idea of sharing the word of God by teaching Sunday School several Sundays a month in Plains at Maranatha Baptist Church and through the incredible work around the world led by the Carter Center.  Right here in Americus, Habitat for Humanity International was born, a symbol of God’s love, hope and service to others.  The Global Village and Discovery Center exemplifies the work done around the globe providing decent housing for those in need.  People in Americus truly care.

My first big “thank you” goes out to the community as a whole.  Thank you for welcoming our guests as friends as they wander through our residential and business neighborhoods.  Your kindness and courtesy make everyone feel welcome.

To the Americus Welcome Center, thank you for providing guidance and information for all who visit Americus.  You are very often their first impression of Americus and we appreciate all you do.

To the National Historic Sites, employees, and volunteers, thank you for sharing your expertise and helping to make every minute count as our guests explore and learn about our area’s history.

To the restaurants that feed our guests, thank you for providing delicious meals and great service to our guests.   Since we only serve breakfast, we depend on you to take care of the rest.  For those who want a fine dining experience, Rosemary & Thyme always delivers a wonderful meal.  The Station, overwhelmingly, is our guests’ favorite.  Little Brother’s Bistro is a favorite for lunch.  City Grill and Roman Oven are great for lunch and dinner.  1800 Mexican and La Hacienda are open during those off hours and we really appreciate both.  And, I can’t forget The Fish House, Monroe’s Hot Dogs, or Pat’s Place.  We have guests who love each and every one of you.  Thank you for what you do.  Finally, we would be lost without Ruby Tuesday because they are open when everything else is closed.  Thank you.

To the great downtown shops, thank you for providing a fun and inviting shopping experience for our visitors.  An extra special “thank you” to The Maze.  Everyone loves you.

To President and Mrs. Carter and the entire congregation of Maranatha Baptist Church, thank you for opening your Church and your hearts to whoever might choose to attend Sunday School and worship.  The opportunity to hear President Carter share God’s love is truly a blessing.  Speaking of Plains, a huge thank you goes to Plain Peanuts for their incredible peanut butter ice cream.  That is truly a highlight of every guest’s visit to Plains.

So, please join me in a round of applause for everyone who contributes to the amazing experience that is #myAmericus.

Love,

Susan
