Historic Charm with Room for Improvement
Pros:

Charming Historic Character: The inn has a wonderful, authentic historic vibe and personality that made the stay enjoyable despite the building's age.
​Plush Bathrobes: I really appreciated that bathrobes were provided in the room. This is a rare amenity in many places and was a very thoughtful touch.
​Comfortable Bed: The bed itself was extremely comfortable and provided a great night's sleep.
​Morning Coffee/Tea Station: Having complimentary coffee and tea available in the morning was a pleasant touch to start the day.
​Overall Atmosphere: Despite a few minor maintenance issues, the overall ambiance was welcoming and memorable.

Cons:

​AC Unit Location & Windows: The window air conditioner was quite old, and because it blew air directly onto the bed, I had to keep it turned off. Additionally, the windows could not be opened, which prevented any fresh air from entering the room.
​Bathroom Fixtures & Exhaust Fan: The shower control handle was loose and actually came off in my hand. Also, the bathroom lighting and exhaust fan are connected to a single switch, meaning the loud fan stays on continuously whenever the light is on. Having a separate switch for the fan would be a major improvement.
​Room Layout & TV Visibility: Space in the room was very limited. The bed dominated the room, leaving only narrow pathways. Additionally, one of the bedposts directly blocked the line of sight to the television.
​Lack of Breakfast: I was disappointed to find no full breakfast served, only morning coffee and tea. It would be a great addition to bring back a proper breakfast option.

we didn't stay because the owner was not there and no one else could stay either Disgraceful
Pros:

Nothing because we didn't stay there because the owner wasn't there and the Inn was open and the rooms were not made up. It was absolutely disgraceful and we have already been in touch with you for a refund.

Absentee hosts should not be running an inn!
Pros:

Excellent location, short walk to main drag, and Avon Theatre, is the only good thing about this venue.

Cons:

There was no host our entire stay. Tim did not reply to my email before our arrival, and the phone number he provided in his booking confirmation was not in service. We were fortunate a fill-in housekeeper was there to make up our room, and help carry our bags up 3 flights of stairs. Our room, The Secret Garden, was very hot, even with the noisy fan and A/C unit. I am short and even I found the low slanted ceiling in the bathroom challenging. One floor lamp was broken where the bulb screws in, there was some garbage on the carpet, tv wires propped up on an overturned recycling bin. There was only 1 regular Keurig coffee pod in the morning (thankfully there was brewed coffee downstairs, although there was no way to know this, other guests had no idea). An entire group showed up in the evening and there was no one to check them in or show them to their rooms. Most rooms weren't made up at all. It's a great location, and has the potential to be a lovely venue, but it seems to be neglected, with barebones effort from the hosts. For the hefty price, which doesn't include breakfast, I suggest you stay elsewhere.

Nightmare. Years of travel and have never experienced anything like this. Innkeeper was missing, rooms were not cleaned
Pros:

Location is walkable to restaurants and theatre

Cons:

Everything else. Tired and neglected. No staff on site if there are issues which there were! The Innkeeper did not show up during guest check in hours and did not respond to calls or texts. Innkeeper never dis show up causing us and several other guests to leave and find accommodation elsewhere.

Comfortable quiet place.
Pros:

No breakfast offered and we knew that so not a problem.
very comfortable beds
good location
quiet
.

Cons:

Did not know that our room was on 3rd floor (and it was steep long staircases as rooms are likely 10 ft high); this was a challenge as I am using supplemental O2 and I carry oxygen tank and brother walks with cane for balance. No offer to carry up luggage but I understand why as inn keeper had recently had heart surgery.
Ignoring our personal health challenges....I really think in every room there should be sign confirming address and how to telephone inn keepers. IF someone had heart attack they need to be able to call 911 quickly and say where they are...in a panic they might forget address or even name of inn.

It was the perfect getaway!
Pros:

We liked everything about our stay. The property was beautiful and it was centrally located so we were able to walk downtown as well as to the theatre.
