1. It figured out that the parking was not provided while it was mentioned in the listing that free parking is available. It was framed the way it conceals the reality. 2. It took an extra effort to get Wi-Fi password. 3. It wasn’t possible to adjust air conditioner. It blew super cold and there was no chance to do anything about it. I had to sleep with a bed sheet on my head not to get cold.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Location was convenient and pool and tub were adequate but Inn condition was old. Carpets smelled like urine from the office up the stairs, so dirty, dreaded walking out of the room. Room upstairs was fine but no place to put toiletries. Shower water wasn't stable. Booked 4 days, left after 1 and wasn't given any refund, manager refused to acknowledge the smell. Not sure how she's getting 5 star ratings.

There's a problem with the shower drain so it kept filling up and the shower knob kept falling off. Very difficult to get in and out of the hot tub. Other than that this is probably the best bed and breakfast in the neighborhood.

Brent

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff was nice enough, But room was musty, smelled a bit and was dated. No thermostat to adjust individual room temperature. Bathroom was run down, and a little gross. No vent fan for the steam and sign on non functioning bathroom window said "do not use" Absolutely no parking, You have to block a busy street to load and unload luggage. Sleeping was tough between the Drag nightclub across the street bumping music till the wee hours of the morning only to fire up again at around 8 am to the roosters crowing on the property and all around starting at 12am and going all night. I won't say that the walls are paper-thin. but I listened to snoring in the other room and traffic both nights also. It wasn't all bad though, the heated pool was nice as well as the hot tub. The Central location would be nice for a younger/party crowd. Bicycle rental was reasonably priced here also. I would deal with most of this in stride if these rooms cost $70 a night. But at $200 plus these problems really need to be addressed.

Very nice place to stay. The outdoor pool and hot tub were excellent as well as the indoor Jacuzzi. The bed was very comfortable in the shower was really nice. Also, the breakfast option was also very good.
