“Housekeeping was nonexistent.”

Reviewed 10 July 2010

I stayed at this Inn (not a B&B) for 3 different weeks on business. There is no hotel staff on duty after 5 PM. If you need something you have to contact the manager of the connecting restaurant. Out of my 1st 2 weeks the room was only made up 50% of the time, no amenities were ever replenished and... More
