For visitors to the area who prefer the simplicity of motel accommodations but seek to avoid staying at a chain establishment, the Victoria Inn in Anniston is an ideal solution. At four miles away, it's also the motel lodging option closest to Wellborn. The Victoria Inn operates within a quaint, historic estate house that dates back to the late 19th century. Over the years, it's expanded to a total of 60 rooms, each containing standard amenities along with traditional country home decor. What also sets the Victoria apart from other simple lodgings is that it donates 100% of its proceeds to the nearby Jacksonville State University to fund student scholarships.
