Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Housekeeping was below what I expected. There dust bunnies under the bed and dead bugs on the sills. The breakfast items were minimal and dated-coffee beans were 2 years old. Very roomy and quiet since we were the only ones there. Very good bathroom facilities.

An adventure to remember

We had the most interesting an friendly stay at B & L. It was like staying in a curated historic boarding house. Leslie the owner/manager/decorator/"tour guide", was so helpful and patience with our group of 10 friends. each room was themed after a part of her family heritage and experiences. I highly recommend staying there.

Great stay!! We would definitely stay here again. The bed was very comfortable. We didn’t see or experience any ghosts but it definitely has some spookiness to it. If you are looking for a different kind of experience this is the place

This was by far the best place I’ve stayed in a long while. We stayed a night and wished we didn’t have to go back home and back to work. Chester is a tiny town of 150 people but what a mighty little town. We can’t wait to get back!!!

The owners did a fantastic job renovating this old building. Each room is unique and stays with the time period of the building. The community bathrooms provide a unique environment. My daughter and I chatted with such nice ladies as we were going in and out of the bathroom area. It was convenient that there are no specific hours for the breakfast bar. There was a fine variety of easy, make for yourself options. My daughter had yogurt and oatmeal, and I had toasted peanut butter and jelly with coffee, of course. The owner was friendly.
