This was a pretty good bed and breakfast - especially compared to the few other options in the area - but left us feeling kind of neutral/negative. We were expecting a bit more attention to detail, like shampoo, hairdryer, etc in the bathroom and a place to unpack (no drawers or closet). The first night we were also pretty freaked out by both the living and dead spiders and insects everywhere (did not use the cabinet under the bathroom sink because of the cobwebs and a few dead insects) - almost wanted to ask for a vacuum.
