We never actually stayed at the 7 Gables because when we got there, the owner diverted us to another of his properties at a different location. We had reserved a two-room suite with king bed, jacuzzi, etc. What we found at the other location was something completely different - a run-down little building in an overgrown yard next to a rusted out mobile home. Inside, the cramped unit reeked of cigarette smoke, had filthy carpet, mismatched furniture, and sloppily-made beds. The floor plan was completely different from the unit we had reserved. We called him immediately and told him we would not accept the unit.

In replay, he told us matter of factly that we'd have trouble finding anything else as it was already after 6:00 p.m. Then he told us he had given away our reservation (made 6 months earlier) to another customer (the U.S. military) who was willing to pay him a lot more per unit. When we objected, he said, "Money talks!"

We have travelled a great deal and had never before had our reservation given away. We have never encountered an owner who was so blatantly unethical in his dealings with customers. We advise that travellers avoid this place at all cost.

West Cottage is not fit to stay in. We checked out as soon as we looked over the building, stairs unsafe and building was a fire trap. Junk all over the yard. We were booked to stay 3 nights but the owner would only refund us two.

“Lacking customer service”

Seven Gables Inn

14 Jul 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

The Inn had country charm and the room decorated nicely and comfortable. The Innkeepers did not have warmth and customer attention. Neither did our shower on either morning of our stay...first day no water..as maintenance was working on the boiler then only cold the second day. We were offered a shower in another spare room, but this inconvenience to us was not acknowledged. One reply was they would stop the morning dishes, and that would put them behind!
I did get a break on the room rate upon checkout, but only with my asking, noting it was a jacuzzi room, and we had no option to use that either.
Breakfast was hurried with scanty amounts. Community access computer was a nice amenity.

Although the arcitechture is certainly unusual and the outside a little messy we had a fine night at this B&B. The room was comfortable and clean. Breakfast was good and plentiful. the proprietors were friendly and helpful. It has a tv in the room bigger than 13" and computer access for the guests. Best of all it was very inexpensive for Alaska.

“Don't waste your time”

Seven Gables Inn

29 Apr 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

This is one of the most bizarre places I have ever stayed. It's hard to describe. Let me just say that neither of the two lamps at the bedside worked. When I looked behind the bed to see if they were plugged in, the dust and dirt made me feel ill. One of the pillowcases had a mark across the edge that looked like someone had stepped on it with a dirty shoe. The breakfast is served in a large room with the feeling of a high school cafeteria. The food was odd, including flan along with other things one day; a sloppy mixture of a fruit concoction that appeared to be an effort to make a fruit "crisp" (but failed) another day. The best comment I can make about breakfast is that they served coffee in French presses. The entryway into the building, which is on the second floor, is through a large, dusty kind of covered porch. The handrails along the stairs going to the entrance were filthy. Don't be fooled with the amenities they offer such as wireless internet and cookies in the evening. This is the worst B & B I have ever stayed in, including here in the U.S., in Europe, in the Caribbean, or Central America. My advice: skip it!
