When we couldn't find a way to cast to the TV for the night, the hostess switched our room without any hassle to a TV that was easier to use! It really made our night to be able to watch the shows my partner downloaded.

I suppose I got what I paid for. Pictures are very deceptive. This place is…in need of a facelift. The tub in my room looked gross honestly. Streaky and with a long hair in it (myself and my husband have short hair). It wasn’t awful honestly but not quite the experience I was hoping for.

Very difficult to find in the dark/hallway carpets looked like they hadn’t been vacuumed in quite a while/floor in the room was dirty/pillows were so big and firm it hurt our necks and we had to use some bath towels instead/our room widow had a sticker stuck to the outside that may have been there since the window was installed/the toilet paper holder fell out of the wall . . .

Check in was not great, the rooms were supposed to be adjoining and they were not. Then when we went to the room they gave us one was already open and was not clean at all. They moved us and the new rooms were okay. The next day we asked them to clean the room and replenish our towels and they never did. Otherwise the beds were clean and comfortable. also common to hear dogs barking at night.

Stayed at Germaine inn over the weekend, forgot a few personal items so attempted to get in touch via phone call. Their phone number is not in service and my multiple e-mails were not answered. The place itself was not the worst, obviously under some much needed renovations. Very disappointed with the customer service as my multiple attempts to get in touch were unsuccessful.
