Innkeeper Response
Normally we don't feel the need to respond to reviews, as we realize that each opinion is subjective and we welcome the opportunity for improvement. However, we feel that a response is appropriate here, as this review is not indicative of the majority of our guests' experiences and reviews. While we made every attempt to accommodate this particular guest, she remained unsatisfied. We apologize for not being able to meet her expectations. We were unable to substantiate any of the above allegations. Our staff member of over 15 years said she felt the guest really just wanted a free stay. The guest was refunded her 2nd night's stay, and we kindly made recommendations for alternative lodging for the next evening. As in this case we are always willing to make recommendations for lodging that best fit the needs of the guest. Obviously we are not a good fit for everyone due to the limitations by historical restrictions and limited staff but it is our goal to try to meet and exceed all our guest expectations. The home is owned by Independence National Park and has had the privilege of accommodating guest for the past 22 years.
