5) They're political beliefs are clear and in your face: I'm not a democrat, I'm quite moderate in fact, but sometimes I just want a quiet stroll through a colonial town thinking about how we're all one big happy country. Then, when I stroll back, i don't want to see a sign that says "Republic parking only." I go inside, and I don't want to see their museum exhibit devoted to Clinton's mistakes. I get it, everyone likes a good laugh at politicians, heck, who likes em? But, not all of us are republican, why should I be made to feel unwelcome at the place just because I'm not republican?
Nice place, but tilts toward an older clientele. Also, in the front room of the house, they've created some kind of altar about Bill Clinton's affair. Strange.
4) You're expected to be there at 9 for breakfast. Are we in middle school? Sometimes, vacations don't go as planned, sometimes, you need some extra time for your hair. Sometimes you just wanna press snooze. They expect you downstairs, at 9 sharp, for breakfast, and they're not flexible about it. They hand you breakfast, put on some patriotic music, and then off they go to their own things, hardly any service, not what we expected for a "luxury" bed and breakfast.
3) Breakfast: For a "luxury" bed and breakfast, the breakfast was decidedly ho-hum. Wasn't the worst we've ever had, that was at a 2 star hotel in Puerto Rico, but it was close.
This place talks itself up like a Hilton, but it feels more like a two star days inn, that forces you to get up at 9 in the morning.
2) Weird motel 2 in 1 shampoo conditioner: One measly bottle of crappy shampoo/conditioner for the two of us. Seriously? I've had better in highway motels.
This B&B is a little piece of heaven. The room was first class, lovely grounds, each breakfast was better than the last. The house lends itself to friendly chats with other travellers over a glass of wine & cookies. The location is across from William & Mary University and very walkable to Colonial Williamsburg. We stayed 3 wonderful days in the FDR suite this past week. The hosts couldn't have been more accommodating. Highly recommended.
We've been to bed and breakfasts up and down the eastern seaboard, and across the country. This was our worst experience so far. Perhaps yours will be better, but we felt it necessary to share our own.
Why you ask? Here are just a few things we had to deal with during our stay
1) Showers either burn you or freeze you, seriously old school plumbing. If your paying anything above $150 a night, its reasonable to expect properly functioning showers. Crappy showers easily put a damper on your vacation.
My husband and I purchased a Groupon for a weekend getaway. This was our first time in Williamsburg, VA and our first time at a bed & breakfast. We absolutely LOVED everything about this B&B! Debbie and John were very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was delicious! We stayed in the Lincoln Room which has a his/hers bathroom and a comfy king size bed. Everything was super clean and the location is very ideal. It is located right across from the College of William and Mary and walking distance from Colonial Williamsburg. We made some great friends during our stay and were highly impressed with this establishment. Can't wait to return! Thanks for the memorable stay :)
My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend last year and we loved it. We were in the Thomas Jefferson room, which is really nice and quiet. It even has its own entrance. My favorite part of our stay was breakfast. Honestly the best breakfast food ive ever had. In the evenings they put out wine and cookies or brownies. I looked forward to that at the end of each day. The owners were very kind and helpful. Our room was nicely decorated and a perfect escape for our getaway. We were also close enough to the restaurants, shops and historic attractions to walk to them. The only complaint I have is the shower was not warm enough.
