Reviews on Trip Advisor ( Mayton Inn | The King’s Daughters Inn | The Umstead Hotel Event Center )

• “Decor- GORGEOUS! Every room, every detail, lobby, hallways, you name it, this is a facility that the owners took a great deal of time, expense and attention to detail to produce a fun, elegant and fabulous facility.”
• The interior of the Inn is gorgeous. It is a modern twist on traditional with a very cozy, historic touch. The bar looks like a perfect place to sit and stay awhile. There is a gorgeous library that looks as if it belongs in a luxury estate, with fantastic seating options. The dining room itself is beautifully designed and very comfortable.”
• “… beautiful – the colors, style, furniture, and bedding are a delight. Fans of boutique hotels, we are partial to those with great style and whimsy –  surpasses the best boutique hotels we’ve stayed in. All of the guest rooms are decorated in varying color themes with unexpected accents and surprises. The library is s fantastic place for a glass of wine and the gray-on-gray dining room accented by a wall of glass is stunning.”
• “…a decorator‘s masterpiece…”
• “Each common area and every uniquely decorated room feature magnificent materials and appointments. From bowls, vases, lamp shades, hutches, mirrors, headboards and much, much more, our amazement was non-stop. The creative combination of fabrics and materials makes it a joy to just walk through the hallways.”

• “This is a true boutique hotel: small, well- appointed, and extremely welcoming and comfortable…  it is spotless, luxuriously appointed, with lovely common rooms. The library is timelessly beautiful and the entrance hall is modern and chic yet filled with classic elements. The guest rooms are spacious, luxurious, and nothing is overlooked.

• “The hotel is beautiful!”
• “The rooms are beautiful and the beds are sooo comfy.”

Reviews on Angie’s List

• “I worked with Mary Elizabeth Beal and she was wonderful! Our first meeting was free of charge and she did about an hour overview of our home, getting my thoughts and explaining all about the company and how the process works. Once we signed the agreement to have her continue (we only pay for the services we ask for), Mary Elizabeth came back and spent about 3 hours talking colors and design. She was very patient and didn’t push anything. She gave us 3D computerized drawings of her thoughts for the master bedroom and later sent some suggestions for the master bath. The plan is ours whether we wish to have it done by ourselves or with the help of Megliola Beal Interior Design. We have had all the painting done with the colors she suggested and it looks wonderful. I never would have believed how this would come together, but it looks great. Having an open plan is really not too easy when it comes to colors and we didn’t want the entire downstairs all one color. Her suggestions far outweighed our expectations. We have her design ideas for the master and master bath, but probably won’t get to it until next year. In the meantime, we can try to put some things together ourselves or utilize Megliola Beal Interior Design to help us complete our room. Either way, the design is for us to keep. Hiring them was well worth the money.”
