Innkeeper Response
The inn has had excellent reviews and as the innkeeper, we to get surprises, unfortunely, after a guest leaves. The housekeeper informed me about the rug which is apparent that someone had a dog in the room without our knowledge and we then of course, removed and totally sanitized the room. The room has an outside balcony which would permit someone to bring a dog in. Referencing the breakfast: Our guests are greeted with a server, asked their juice and coffee choices and what the inn is offering each morining. We also put out a fresh bowl of fruit on each table. Coffee's are refilled without question. They can dine inside or outside and they have a choice of items such as blueberry french toast, omelets, waffles or egg's their way. Which is served with or famous Praline bacon, potatoes and a croisant, blueberry butter. We feel that this is more than a full breakfast and other guest comments are always positive. This is all included with their stay. What is the sad, is that our guests didn't say a word during their stay about any of the aforementioned comments, as we would have immediately responded to any or all of their needs and they would then have truly enjoyed their stay. Dinner and the package offered and NOT our least expensive menu items. Rack of lamb, filet of the finest beef, Halibut etc and all of the entree's include the starch and vegetables. Meaning nothing is al a carte! In closing: Communication is Key in all situations!
