After looking through pictures of the inn and reading through the room description, I was excited about the opportunity to stay in what the website described as “luxury” accommodations. Upon checking in, we were helped by a very friendly receptionist and pointed in the direction of our room. It took us no time at all after walking into the room to realize the pictures and description were far from the truth. Plastic trash/recycling cans, a camping lamp, flashlight, and desk fan were some of the unflattering features of the room. Additionally, the room was said to include a “free wine welcome package with snacks.” This was not provided.
Given the room’s location along the primary path leading to the reception area, we soon came to realize privacy was a major concern. As we sat on the chairs and watched out the window, we were unnerved as multiple guests walked up the stairs to our room and attempted to open our door, only to be told by us that this was not the reception area and was a private room. In an attempt to ward off other residents from coming in, we decided to close the front curtains, soon realizing that the gap between the curtain and the door was wide enough to be seen from the bed. We personally did not feel safe with the lack of privacy, but we did not have any other option but to stay or drive the four hours back to our home.
Although the natural air provided much needed air circulation in the room, we were reluctant to leave the windows open at night due to the lack of security. The windows, when open, were easily wide enough to climb through. Unfortunately, since natural air was the only source of air circulation, the room became uncomfortably stuffy, leading to significant condensation on the windows.
Our stay was very disappointing given the description of the room provided, and the high price point did not reflect the value of the accommodations.
