Great stay!

We had a wonderful stay here! It was a very cute hotel in a good location and very quiet. Several restaurants nearby. We had been traveling for a few weeks and they were so kind to let us use the laundry room to do a few loads of laundry! The Continental breakfast was really good as well. This hotel is right above a grocery store which was very convenient as well!

My family's short stay at the Kinvara Guesthouse was decent after a rocky start. Our initial room absolutely reeked of heavy perfume and the smell of smoking--although it's designated strictly for non-smoking--with the window wide open, chilling the room with cold air. It was clear they had been trying to disguise the smell, and it made my wife nauseous. Upon notification of the issue, the annoyed (owner? manager?) sent us back to the front desk, where the on-duty employee gave a lot of attitude to make the room change...in a mostly-empty property. The stay was mostly fine otherwise, except for the same employee at breakfast the next morning, removing items early and then again making a dramatic big deal of bringing milk back out (it was still minutes before designated end of mealtime). We were nice, polite and considerate all along, so I have no idea what caused such frustration for this man, but customer service apparently isn't his strong suit. If the face of the property handled things differently, I'd give this guesthouse a 4-star review.

We enjoyed our stay and dinner in pub the first night. We enjoyed the breakfast. The staff was helpful. The only thing I would improve is a place to get water or soda in a machine. We were parched when we got there and there was no bottled water in the room. Pillows were very flat and well worn. Room was nice. Glad we picked this hotel. Close to park to rent bikes.
