I'd attended art receptions and modern dance performances at the Guest Haus, and what I was able to see of the property during those times left me impressed; the grounds and furnishings are lovely, and I always wanted to return there for a stay. No longer!
About a month ago, my parents booked a room for my boyfriend and I, to celebrate my 32nd birthday and make his last visit to Ann Arbor (long distance relationship - we're both relocating out West in a few weeks) extra-special. The owner's reluctance to rent a room with a bathtub to "young couples... because [Vitosha has] had problems with all the splashing," despite my parents' repeated assertion we were adults, was slightly off-putting, but we happily received a letter confirming our reservation a couple days later.
Last week, two days before our "confirmed" stay, the owner contacted my parents to say the room was no longer available, as its tenants had elected to stay an extra day. She never apologized for the inconvenience, but offered to relocate us "kids" to smaller rooms with inferior views (one in an upstairs corner which they normally kept closed and only used as their "overflow" room); one had two twin beds and the other lacked a private bathroom. She offered no discounts for our inconvenience, and when my mother said her offer wasn't good enough, the owner snapped, "Well, what do you want, blood?," and hung up. She refused to pick up or return subsequent calls.
The following day, my parents were notified by e-mail that their reservation had been refunded, and that, "ironically, [Vitosha staff] had overlooked the sister room [to the China Room], which was available." Again, no apology.
Absolutely egregious - I can no longer suggest this place to anyone, and discourage everyone from even attending events there. They don't deserve your support.
