    Very minimal room. Just a bed, sink, and toilet. The shower is a pop-up style. This property needs a deep clean.

    Convenient and affordable.

    Main light bulb was out. Bed was uncomfortable. Not enough towels in the room or in the storage area we were told to search.

    Unique and special. Really enjoyed reading about the history of the house. Wi-Fi ok. Good location. Very interesting shower. Parking included. Nice garden area. Easy self check in, clear instructions.

    The bed was uncomfortable, it looked like a king but was actually two twin beds pushed together, with a gap down the middle, so it wasn’t the most comfortable. A few suggestions for the bathroom - provide a towel rack/hand towel near the sink, a bath mat for the tub/shower, and a privacy window covering/shade for the window. Provide Kleenex. Drinking glasses/bottled water would also be a nice touch.

    The communication w the host was very good. The self check in instructions were clear and easy.

    Face cloth in bathroom had been used!! There were black with white embroidery that says "makeup". No sink stopper so I ran hot water over it to refresh my face that had no makeup on. I was appalled when I picked up the cloth and found someone else's make up smeared on the sink. Comparing the 2 face cloths, one embroidery was clearly not white and had absorbed make up and had not been washed. The other one the embroidery was white...it was clean. Pulling back the blanket and top sheet I don't believe the sheets were newly clean for our stay. There were the tiny wrinkles pressed in from previous occupiers.

    No breakfast provided. We brought electric kettle and used fridge provided in room. It was chilly upon arrival, but electric fire place made it cozy.

    The shower. Closeness of bed to the wall. Stayed in the Foster Room, don't know if the room could be arranged different?

    Liked the coffee and microwave. Would have been nice to have paper plates,cups and plastic eating forks/spoons.

    The outside really needs some work, paint and updating, just looks run down, but the inside was clean and beautifully decorated.

    Location! close to everything we had planned, plus Starbucks is right there and that’s always a bonus! The bathroom/bathtub was awesome.

    More information on arrival - how to use tv, how to use the shower, the internet instructions were badly written and confusing. No cup for water in the bathroom. Cold - finally discovered the heating slug on the fireplace but never managed to get the room temp above 66. The Foster room right on the street - street noise is part of life. I had brought a white noise machine. Plugs badly situated and the multipliug wasn't working well. The desk chair was too low so actually working at the desk was not possible, unless a pile of pillows was added. TV - many seeming options yet many required a code or license number, Not helpful.

    Easy access - great location - pretty room, coffee and snacks were appreciated.

    There were no amenities that make this "bed and breakfast" style facility better than a hotel, or even on par. The shower was too small to move in and the shower curtain had mold. There weren't cups available to get some water (which would have been from the bathroom sink). For the cost, I would have expected a few little niceties.

    Location was mostly good. Right on a busy street, so it was loud.

    I’m not sure if other guests or perhaps long term guests were smoking outside or inside but it smelled like cigarettes as soon as you walked to the entry door. There was what appeared to be black mold on the ceiling in the room. The room was very loud from other guests who were disrespectful of those wanting to sleep. Around 4am the trash trucks empty dumpsters right behind the building which is incredibly loud. The bathroom has no privacy. Adding a barn door or even a curtain would be nice. When you walk from the parking area you’re immediately next to the toilet. When you enter from the front of the building you’re around the corner from it. If two guests are in the room and one needs to use the restroom there is no privacy for restroom use as it’s just open to the room.

    The location and ease of parking are nice especially when the main hotels are booked. The steam shower is nice but there’s no fan and no door to the bathroom.

    The smoke! Guests in another room were either smoking in their room or smoking right outside the back door and our room stank of smoke in the morning. I messaged the owners (who aren’t on site) but didn’t get a reply. We left early. There was also a bright, large exit sign in our room which was not conducive to sleeping in a dark room. Be aware that the stairs are steep to 2nd floor. And there is a busy road in front of the house.

    The Jacuzzi tub was great. We liked the Roku tv that we could program with our streaming services. The owners said we could checkin early (though we ran late and didn’t need to.)
