Maysville Manor Bed & Breakfast

This was my first time trying a B&B and if this is an indicator, I don't think I'll try another. I arrived earlier in the afternoon hoping for a relaxing stay. The inn keeper is a very nice lady but this isn't at all what I expected. The key was left for me at a predetermined location and I opened to door to find myself alone in a huge, empty house. The room I had reserved was changed to a different one due to a last minute reservation by a family that needed it. I was okay with that until I saw my room. No bed, just an uncomfortable fold out couch. The pillows were only about 2 inches thick, the room was dark and dingy with cobwebs on the light fixture and fireplace mantle. I was going to open the curtains to brighten it up only to realize that the curtains were hiding an AC hose going out the window as well as several dead bugs. I explored the house just for something to do and was further disappointed. I do understand that the building is old and I normally love old houses, but the entire place smelled musty and was generally dark and gloomy. Yes, it's furnished with antiques but antique furniture isn't comfortable, the only comfortable places to sit are the beds. I was hoping to curl up with a good book so tried the front porch. Not better. The wicker furniture was old and the cushions were dirty. I was told to help myself to whatever I wanted in the kitchen. More disappointment. I had been looking forward to nice breakfast only to find 2 "juice drinks", milk, cold cereal, stale toaster waffles, yogurt and grocery store packaged pastries. I was told about a small den upstairs to watch TV if I wanted. My computer monitor is bigger than that TV and there was one chair to sit in, old and you could feel the springs. Random stuff was also stored in this room. I was actually relieved when the other guests arrived later that night so I wouldn't be alone in that house anymore until I realized that my room didn't have a lock. I was traveling alone and couldn't even secure my room. I got up early the next morning, showered and left. I wish this was a better review because the inn keeper was so nice on the phone, but I can't recommend this place at all.

I made a reservation on *******. Then the owner said she all her rooms were booked. I do not think this place should ever have been listed by *******.

This historic property is quaint and quiet. Like a cozy trip back in time!
