Read moreI was very impressed with this bed and breakfast. The rooms were quite large, especially the bathrooms. I expected older student housing but the inside has been refurbished very well and is the nicest house for blocks. The entry system is nice and easy to use.
The hosts are extremely nice people that have thought of everything. They prepare your stay just as they would want it for themselves. There is a book provided outlining everything you want to know about the TV, places to eat, ice, check in/out, breakfast, in detail that answers every question you could have. They offer complimentary wine and snacks and have a few chocolates. There are very cozy robes. I think there are SIX pillows that are excellent (as is the bed). There is a common area to use. A nice TV with every major steaming service, wow! And the showers are excellent. Every category you would question about a hotel stay they get an A+. Quite impressive.
The breakfast is thoughtful and super tasting. They are eager to accommodate specific dietary needs and are in touch with you before the arrival so everything goes smoothly. There are three rooms and they have parking for you.
I have spoken with others that stayed there and they love The Buckingham Inn as well. Do yourself a favor and stay here, you will be...
