I recently stayed at this historic inn, and while I understand that properties of this age come with their quirks, my experience left much to be desired.
Firstly, the wall sconces in the room were not functional in the way you would expect. When pulling the chain to turn them on, instead of illuminating, the cheap round LED light fell off the top. The dim light provided was controlled by a button, which, frankly, was both ineffective and aesthetically unpleasing.
Additionally, both beds were equipped with plastic mattress covers, which gave the room a feeling reminiscent of staying at a grandparent’s house — and not in a nostalgic or charming way. These covers creaked loudly with every movement throughout the night, disrupting sleep, while the fitted sheet constantly slid off the slippery mattress cover.
To make matters worse, the clean bath towels were folded and left… on the bathroom floor. Not only is this unhygienic, but it’s also deeply unsettling to think that one would be expected to use towels left on a hotel bathroom floor. It begs the question — would anyone really feel comfortable drying off with these after stepping out of a shower?
While the bathroom did show some expected signs of age, such as peeling paint on the door, this can be forgiven given the inn’s 100+ years of history. However, what cannot be overlooked is the lack of basic service during our three-night stay. The room was never serviced; no fresh linens, no bed-making, and no replenishing of amenities.
The information binder in the room mentioned a “small breakfast” available each morning, but in reality, nothing was provided except a few leftover cookies from the previous night. This is hardly what one would expect from a place claiming to offer breakfast of any kind, and it certainly did not meet any reasonable standard. The Veranda’s information binder should be updated to reflect the absence of breakfast. That way, at least if there is no breakfast, it won’t leave guests with a taste of disappointment.
Lastly, the room’s TV setup was less than impressive. The television sat on the mantle, with its cord hanging down the wall, plugged into a surge protector that dangled unsightly from the wall. This was not only tacky, but it also undermined the inn’s historic charm.
Overall, this stay was a major letdown, and I would not recommend it to anyone seeking a comfortable or even remotely pleasant experience. The historic charm simply isn’t enough to make up for the myriad of issues I encountered during my stay.
