I booked my room online, and used the posted pictures and listed amenities to make my decision. At $250 for my one night stay, I expected a wonderful, upscale experience. Be advised, breakfast at this B&B is at an extra cost, prepaid upon reservation. We did not stay for the breakfast we had already paid for to avoid any further disappointment. I came in and checked into my room, and once the door opened, my initial excitement quickly faded. I had booked the "Miracle Room", and frankly the only thing miraculous about it was that they considered it a room. It was no bigger than a walk in closet, and had no decor. The paint on the ceiling was peeling, and there were cobwebs everywhere.There weren't even curtains or shades on the windows. The bed was placed awkwardly in the center of the tower and the bathroom was to the immediate right, in what I can only assume was previously used as storage. The Jacuzzi tub was placed in the back right of the closet sized space with the ceiling at such an angle overhead, that you would be lucky not to bump your head while trying to sit and relax. Needless to say, there was no shower. I went downstairs after checking available reservations online, and was told the rooms showing available were not actually the rooms available. We were then given the choice to stay in "Cottage Suite B", which resides in the renovated garage. I am not sure which was worse. There was very little mismatched decor, and the place had an odor akin to a seasonal cabin not aired out after a long winter; it was stuffy and musty. The bathroom had broken floor tiles and the toilet shifted when sat upon. Aside from that, the cheap toiletries supplied were half used and there was dirt and cobwebs under the empty shelving units that ran the length of the room. The bed left much to be desired; reminded me of sleeping on a futon. Additionally, the wifi does not work in the cottage "suites". the Inn Keeper did not ask how my stay was, and since there is a prominent disclaimer advising there are no refunds for any reason, at any time, I am guessing he is very aware of how my stay was. The gardens are overgrown, and overall my choice of accommodation was shabby, and misrepresented. I feel swindled. Please avoid the Miracle Room and Cottage Suites if you want to get even close to the experience you think you are paying for. Horrible stay, will never return.
