Midnight Sun Inn

Il manque une ou deux places assises dans le salon.

I had booked a queen room with bathroom attached. I was put into a shared house with 2 non-private bathrooms. The bedroom doors did not lock. Would not recommend especially travelling solo and there is very little privacy and security.

Pas de machine à café dans la chambre ou ailleurs.

It wasn’t where we thought it would be. Very misleading . We basically were sharing a place with another couple who had a room right next door to us. The TV was on the wall so couldn’t have it on after 9 pm . The furniture had seen better days. The bedroom itself was very small and no bedside table on my side to put my glasses or ipad down . Also could only connect 3 out of 4 of our devices to their wifi ( unknowingly) .

No AC

Could have had more items in kitchen to use and towels / blankets

Communication was difficult, he only responded to telephone calls, not messages through booking.com.
He moved us to a different house, which was fine, and might actually be better than the original it's just a little unnerving being moved somewhere else.

The room itself was small. We were expecting a queen sized bed, and instead got a double bed. We were struggling to manage the space.

The washbasin plug hole didn’t drain, unless you picked up the plug by dipping your hands in the wash water and held the plug up for the duration it took to drain the washwater.

Very concerning: There was a cleaning fee if bathroom drying towels were stained. It does somewhat imply that they don’t clean the towels after the last guest has vacated the property. The inference that I’m using a towel to dry myself that hasn’t been cleaned since the last guest is somewhat disgusting.

Overall though, this place advertises itself as an inn. It isn’t an Inn!
A hotel: Many rooms and a bar
An Inn: A bar, with a few overnight rooms.

This is closer to an Airbnb concept. Probably better for long term stays. If you want easy accommodation with cleaning, elevators for your heavy luggage, served breakfast and dinner options nearby, goto a hotel.

Some features were a little old

Bit of a walk to get anywhere , but still doable. Buy bring on a side street made for a very quiet night!!

The property seemed to be more like a hostel set up than I thought. I just wasn't expecting that.

The room was a little bit small, and right next to the other room. Fortunately, the person in the other room was quiet. We were whispering in the morning to avoid disturbing the neighbor.
The room is in a neighborhood, rather than being downtown, so it was about a 15 minute walk to most restaurants.

No fridge in the room but there is a full size fridge in the upstairs common area which does the job.

We booked based on photos and reviews of the "inn" on Booking.Com but upon check-in, were told we were being "upgraded" to another property about 5 blocks away in what seemed to be an area that was more transient.

It turned out that this was a 4 unit apartment with shared kitchen and living areas. Other people's food was on the counter and in the fridge. As two women traveling together, this had a different feel than our expected stay in an "inn" with hosts on property. I immediately contacted the staff by text asking about the situation and they never responded. We could lock our room and knew our reservation was non refundable so decided to stay. The room was clean and comfortable.

We were awakened after the posted quiet hours of 9pm-8AM by 2 people who proceeded to cook and eat a meal and then (what sounded like) taping up cardboard boxes. This went on until about 10pm. I texted the owner again and also messaged Booking.com. While the owner *never* responded to me, he claimed to Booking.com customer service that he had driven over and by that time it was quiet again. Booking.com deferred to the owner and customer service was unhelpful (and nothing more than an AI parroting back of the concerns listed in my message to them.

*So buyer beware*: know that you might end up in a different location than what you have booked and sharing a space with renters as well as overnight guests without a host on the property. Ask questions before you book or look elsewhere if you prefer to know exactly what you are getting. If the owner had been upfront about the situation or offered us the option of something different than what we booked, it would have been a different experience. Instead, this felt like a bait and switch after we had paid our non-refundable reservation.
