Not really “air conditioned “

The beds and breakfasts were wonderful, however the temperature in the room never cooled down-even after we turned it down, it would always shoot back up to a very uncomfortable temp resulting in us waking up in sweat and having to adjust the temp down again over and over. When we first checked in, our room had a large stain on the wall which was unsightly to say the least-I went down to the front desk to show her the picture and Eleanora was gracious enough to put us in a different room-she was very helpful and kind!

The room was old & worn. It was extremely hot, management said they couldn’t lower the air conditioning, my wife & were sweating. The girl’s at the front desk were extremely nice, changed our room to a more modern one, but couldn’t fix the A/C problem.
