I wanted to avoid writing this, but I want to see my review. I feel bad, but it’s the truth.
First, I want to say that I asked to check out late and Mrs Katherine was very kind and allowed me to extend the checkout to 12.
She said she needed to clean for the next guest. I know a lot of people do their own cleaning, but I think it’s extra important, especially if you’re going to charge a rate that a commercial company would charge and Covid disinfection, that you do it really thoroughly.. My issue was when I got there there was some pet food on the counter. Not much at all, but it made it clear it hasn’t been wiped down between me and the previous guest. There were disposable coasters around and clear they were used. Little things, but just showed bigger issues, if that makes sense.
The TV ONLY works with Chromecast. I had to charge my phone and clear space up to download the app to play tv for my little one on YouTube. That was not especially ideal, but not a deal breaker.
The biggest problem for me is that the bed was terribly uncomfortable. I could not sleep. I put my hand down to feel under the skirt if it was a futon. The windows were open and the weather was beautiful. But if it hadn’t been, such as earlier that day or the day before when it was pretty warm, I would’ve been a little frustrated as there are no fans or anything except a little mini fan on the dresser in the bedroom. I left all the windows open overnight for air flow, but it was pretty loud on Narraganset. Not like a highway/interstate, but definitely loud/noticeable vehicles throughout the night. I think some fans, a better bed and thorough cleaning would make all the difference. I also want to mention that I did make my reservation same-day. I understand mistakes happen and she wasn’t expecting to book that day on the day of, but these things happen, and I paid full price. My rating is for the bed and no fans so you have to keep the windows open and hear the semi-busy road traffic.
The washer and dryer were great, there’s a water softener or purifier on the shower head and that’s nice, parking was very convenient, the kitchen was well-stocked, Katherine is nice as a host! and Jamestown is so lovely.
