Our stay at the Benbow Inn was wonderful. We had an issue getting our car to charge, and Ray went out of his way to help us. His customer service was really above and beyond, and he saved the day for us!

The heat never warmed up the room, it literally only moved 1.5 degrees over night. The shower water was luke warm, added to a cold room. Bed was terrible and the linens are outdated and thin. I was also disappointed to find no tv after reading under the entertainment section there was satellite so I assumed there would be a tv.
