Fife'n Drum Inn — Hotel in Kent

This B&B/Inn was listed on CT’s site for B&B’s for a place to stay. Plus online it says upscale B&B and the sign out front says Fife n’ Drum Restaurant and Inn||||The room is cozy and the building construction is post and beam , this is where the B&B /Inn ends. ||||This really is a very high priced motel. There is no Inn Keeper no owner that lives onsite ||||There is no breakfast at all. You must go to a local restaurant down the street. There is a restaurant next door that owns this building. You check in at the restaurant bar. That is the only connection. You don’t even get a reduced meal at the restaurant for staying at the “Inn”||||We spoke to the owner at the bar next door yesterday. She said she did not know she was listed as a B&B. Really????? I was not born yesterday. It is listed such on many sites ||||Does the name ‘Inn’ in you business name give you any clue what so ever?||||At $185 per night this is just a quite expensive motel. A bed in a room , Bathroom. Coffee maker and mini fridge. Yup. A motel. ||||The is no common area nor living room nor kitchen where the owner/Inn keeper makes meals ||||This is not our first B&B. We have stayed at many in the past||||Oh... check out is 11 AM. If you stay past that time you are charged another night. You check out in the bar at the restaurant next door. OK fine. Just a short walk across parking lot. One issue. They don’t open until 11:30 AM. So you are already late checking out past their posted sign So you have to check out the night before you leave. How quaint ||||Kent is quite beautiful and we have visited many local shops. Already started Xmas shopping. Lol. Found a great present for a loved one already ||||Visiting Kent falls and park today. Can’t wait ||||Jim and I are having a great time. |||| So business out there. DO NOT list your self as a B&B or Inn if you are NOT||||You WILL get negative...

Shocking. Register at the restaurant? Clearly no one there knew much about the Inn, except to take our money. We were instructed to come back if we needed towels, etc. That wasn't comfortable. We walked over to the Inn, unlocked the door to our room, and opened onto a long, close staircase leading up to single locked door, which was our room. We felt rather trapped, especially with no other egress, and no staff available. The smoke detector casing was dark brown with age. ? Furnishings were sub-par, mismatched. No table to sit and eat or work. No glasses for drinks or water. The TV did not work well. Cleaning chemicals were stored in an unlocked bathroom floor cabinet. Kid safety? The mattress felt more like a board, pillows no better, and there was no extra bedding. We took a quilt off of the daybed for extra warmth. This revealed that the daybed was actually two beds, one on top of the other, the top bed on some kind of metal platform. Who gets to move the bed if needed? The grounds around the Inn were overgrown and sloppy, especially for anyone needing to go around back to find their door. Parking for the Inn was poor, as we shared with the restaurant and gift shop, leaving no spaces for us. We should have marched right back to the restaurant and demanded...

I wrote the owner to make her aware of my difficulties with the property. While there's no way to control what people do, I did ask that she make it less desirable for people to hang out outside the rooms. Here's what happened:||||Around 12:30 am, a group of people, possibly guests, pulled up chairs just outside our door, under the window, and started socializing. This woke me up and, after 10 minutes, I opened the door, told them I could hear every word they were saying and asked them to move inside. They moved, but only a little further down the very short porch and continued talking until nearly 2 am. I think that if the outdoor lights, which were very bright, had gone off earlier in the night, people wouldn't have stayed camped out, Additionally, the outdoor lights lit up the room, which also made sleeping more challenging. ||||As it was, I moved from the small bed (my mother had the king) and ended up sleeping on the floor on the far side of the king bed just to get away from the noise and the light. It was a...
