Negative Reviews
negative:
Not a bed and breakfast
Despite the fact that this house is advertised as a bed and breakfast, there is no breakfast available. This was disappointing for guests who believed they would be served a meal in the morning, as they were forced to make other plans.
negative:
No staff on the property
There have been complaints about there not being any staff on-site at this house. Instead, there are security cameras installed throughout the property and a door that must be unlocked with a code. Guests found this entire set-up to be creepy.
negative:
Doesn't provide toiletries
Past guests haven't liked the fact that there aren't any toiletries provided at this property. Guests who were unaware of this prior to their arrival had to go without soap and shampoo when they first got there.
