Pleasant stay! But take note...

Our stay at The Guest House was very pleasant and the location was perfect for visiting our family in the area. I'm writing this, not to complain, but because I feel it may save some future complaints, if people know what they are getting into. First, this is a historic home. The condition isn't perfect. There are some uneven floors, etc. If this bothers you, dont stay. But we love history. So we were perfectly content. We stayed in the double queen room with private bath. The private bath is small with a very small shower and no bath. This wasn't a problem for us (other than when my husband accidental knocked the handle with his elbow and turned the water to cold 😅) and we aren't the smallest people ever. However, I could see a larger person not being comfortable in the shower or moving around in the bathroom. The beds were very comfortable and the room and bath were both clean.

We called the owner about 30 minutes prior to anticipated arrival; left message. We arrived but no one there and we left another message. We waited about 30 minutes and were about to leave when the owner called with code to let us into the home. The web site states "breakfast included" but, when I texted the owner that everning requesting a breakfast time, the owner replied that "We haven't served breakfast since COVID" and we had to spend about $20 at a restaurant for breakfast.

Cozy comfort

This was a peaceful escape with small-town charm. You'll hear the occasional creak of old floors, but it adds to the authentic charm, character and warmth. Clean and spacious with thoughtful decorating and touches throughout. Host Debbie was accommodating and flexible when I failed to notify in advance of our arrival as requested in the booking. Appreciate that! .

NOT HONEST

I understand that places all have different refund policies. I called more than enough notice to try and cancel my second night without penalty. The property owner told me that no one from Hotels.com tried to contact her when ya’ll tried in my behalf to contact the property. I then received an email from ya’ll at Hotels.com saying the property owner denied the request to cancel. My issue is just be honest with me rather than saying Hotels.com never contacted you as the property owner. 😡
