Review of Inne at Watson's Choice

I would like to start by saying that the facility ...

I would like to start by saying that the facility itself was wonderful. It had all the character and rustic charm that we were looking for when searching for the perfect venue for my bridal shower. If I was only rating the venue itself it would definitely rate five stars in my opinion. However, the owner/operator of the Inne was more than hellish to work with. She was the rudest, most inconsiderate, and hateful human being I have ever encountered and unfortunately for us that is putting it politely.

My sister in law rented one of the areas of the Inne to host my bridal shower. Because I had such a large bridal party we choose to provide the food ourselves and not to have the Inne cater the shower. Maybe that was our mistake and the reason why we received such an unwelcomed disposition. The cost was $100 an hour and we had rented the place for 5 hours. We knew ahead of time that we would not be allowed in the kitchen so that was not a issue because we brought everything we needed to host the shower. (We had thought)

In the contract it said that we need to provide our own trash bags. Which we did in fact have. When we asked the owner were the trash can was she told us it was not her problem. The trash can was in the kitchen and we were not allowed to use it. I sent my brother to buy us a trash can we could use for the event and hoped that was going to be the last of any issues. $80 later we had trash cans.

The parking lot that was directly outside our event venue for whatever reason was not allowed to be used. Though there was not even one sign that stated that. After the party had already started the owner came in and interrupted it, forced all of our guest to move their cars to the lot on the other side of the property. Even the elderly. Thankfully my bridesmaids jumped into action and moved their cars for them so they didn't need to walk in the heat.

When cleaning up we were right on schedule. We had placed everything back the way we found it and asked where we could be the trash bags at (Keep in mind that we had almost 75 guest at the party) so there was about ten big bags of trash. She told us that we had to take the trash with us. Take the trash with us?? This lady at this point was not only being ridiculous but she was rude, snarky, and disrespectful with her comments to me and all of my guest. I had almost asked her if I used the restroom do I have to take it with me too?

Lastly, at 5:02pm. There was an elderly women (92 years old) in the restroom. The owner went into the restroom and physically forced her out the door almost making her fall. I understand that we had the facility until 5pm. She must have thought her actions were completely justified.

My bridal was wonderful despite the owners actions. My family and friends made the best of a terrible situation and we got through it. My only hope is that the Inne at Watson Choice gets out of the care of the current owner/operator. She does a huge injustice to such a wonderful property.
