We have never left a negative review the past decades, but to inform prospective renters, I believe what follows is a balanced review.
Based on photos we were excited to stay at this location. Upon arrival, our excitement quickly dissipated.
The entry up the interior stairs smells strongly of mold and this is in a rundown commercial area.
Although there was a note in the listing regarding the boatyard nearby, we were not aware that it is directly behind the bedroom in full view, or information that spoke to the amount of construction noise that accompanies it. It was as if you are in the shop itself and difficult to hold normal tone conversations.
In trying to use the tea pot my wife had to clean out a 1/2" of mold. Upon baking dinner, the only Pyrex dish was caked with grease as if it had not been cleaned since the last use. Additionally, my wife had to wear sandals in the bathroom because her feet were sticking to the floor around the toilet. Further, the shades did not work in the bedroom or living room, and there is not lighting in the center or far corners of the living room and we could not see the cribbage board.
Lastly, we all got bit by bugs both in the couch and in bed; probably fleas because pets are allowed. We have photos.
The owner allowed us to cancel our last night but was indifferent to concerns and told us to look elsewhere.
Again, we have never posted a negative review before and thought we would do the decency of informing others.
