I've given this review a lot of thought as I am loathe to say anything less than positive about a small business whenever possible, but this stay was far from ideal.
My first communication was a very clear communication that included the following language:
Late checkouts may create a delay in our ability to turn over the property for the next guest and will incur a $25 charge for every 15 minutes past 10am.
It rubbed me wrong since there was a 3pm check-in and I didn't get the "you can check in now" email until 3.30pm.
This is a basement that's been converted into a rental unit. Which is fine, but that can sometimes mean that there's inadequate ventilation, that was the case with my visit. When you look at the photos one would assume that there's a proper window over the bed so that a cross breeze would be possible, that's not what happened. It's a window that opens to a laundry room. A laundry room I didn't have access to, and where a very bright light shone all night the first night. Thankfully I am a veteran traveler and would never leave home without a sleep mask.
The following morning I was told how to turn the light off, it was next to the boiler room. This is important to know if you are visiting in spring or summer, the boiler room is very hot, and it's next to the bedroom, which explains why it's so very hot down there.
Also, there is no AC. There is an AC/heater/dehumidifier that should be portable but is not. It's in the front room. It doesn't do much, it's basically a fan.
I shared my shower with a three inch cockroach. Must I elaborate?
There were ants. There were also food crumbs under the bed.
The furnishings are tasteful and this has potential to be a better stay in cooler weather.
