NOT HONEST

I understand that places all have different refund policies. I called more than enough notice to try and cancel my second night without penalty. The property owner told me that no one from Hotels.com tried to contact her when ya’ll tried in my behalf to contact the property. I then received an email from ya’ll at Hotels.com saying the property owner denied the request to cancel. My issue is just be honest with me rather than saying Hotels.com never contacted you as the property owner. 😡

It was an old house in very good condition and loaded with many interesting things. There was a nice patio with a bench swing. The bed was very comfortable. We were the only ones booked at that time so we had the whole house to ourselves. Upstairs there are two bedrooms with a shared bath.

An okay place to stay

This was an okay place to stay. The owner/host was extremely nice. However, although advertised as a bed & breakfast with a “full breakfast from 8:30 to 9:30”, there was no breakfast. The owner said she stopped that when Covid started. It seems like some provisions could have been made. Like danishes, yogurt, juice, water, something, in the fridge. Also, there was no air conditioning in our room & the bathroom was extremely small.

Very unique and interesting place. Quite comfortable overall. Fortunately we were the only guests upstairs so we had complete access to bathroom. If other guests had been there it would have been a shared space. That’s the only negative.
