I've been visiting Edgefield for a couple years now, for different occasions at various lengths. I've stayed overnight, I've gone for the day - I think I can say in full confidence that Edgefield is at its best as a day trip. Either a spa day, a wedding, a concert or a special event: The Poor Farm will set you up nicely for good time. Staying the night though? It's not my favorite historic hotel. The rooms, even the higher end ones, are in desperate need of updating. It's hotel cousins Grand Lodge and Anderson School are much, much better examples of what a McMenamins hotel should be.
