Room was clean and nice. It was cold outside and there was only a small heater to heat the room. The hotel is not friendly for the the elderly or people that have a hard time with stairs. No parking for check in. Parking overnight was horrible.

Bedding and towels were not clean. Hair, dog hair, grime, stains on sheets and towels. Grime and dust in all corners. Dirty carpet. Bad patch job around bottom of walls and corners. Hole in closet door. Tub/shower was as high as mid way up my thigh. Very difficult to step in and out of, nothing to hold onto. No screen on window. Chain latch for door broken. Space under door was big enough for mice to go under. Electrical socket not attached properly to wall. No smoke detector. We did notify the person at the front desk. When we showed him pictures of the hair and dog hair on the bedding, he said the guest before us had, had a service animal. We got clean sheets, but he was reluctant to give us new blanket. He was saying that the top blanket was clean, but the fuzzy middle blanket he admitted was dirty, and hadn't been washed. Why would I want a supposedly clean blanket that had been on a dirty one? He ended up getting a top blanket. It didn't smell fresh at all, and was damp. We did stay because we had no other option. Very disappointing. We will not be returning.

Not happy with our short stay

Gunn house 3/8/25, rooms #12 and 14. $84 per night, good rate but there are reasons why: 1. Clerk not in office at check in or check out. Yelled for him, nothing. Had to call hotel phone to get assistance. Ended up leaving keys in a bucket on the counter where other people left theirs. 2. Room signs are deceiving. They lead you one way while the room is another. Very little signage on property. 3. Parking leaves a lot to be desired. Only one ADA space. 4. Lots of stairs, not ADA friendly 5. On check in, the tv remote didn’t work so called the office. 45 minutes later he came to check it and said a repairman would come Monday. Several hours later, we found the correct remote had fallen behind a nightstand by a previous guest leaving the hotel having to use a different one. 6. Toilet low, not ADA, hard to get off of even for someone with no mobility issues. 7. No phone in room. Had to use cell phone to contact them. 8. Clock in room inoperative. Later found to be unplugged. 9. Seems to be just one ADA room on property (#7). 10. No signs as to the breakfast area, ice machine or emergency exit. 11. No lighting on walkway along driveway to parking. 12. Air conditioner on wall about 6-2” high, unlit and painted same color as wall. No lighting or warning. Caught head on it during night hours as it could not be seen in the dark hours. 13. Lots of street noise but is to be expected facing street. 14. Room was cool, the heater took awhile to warm the room up but eventually did.

Upon check in, we were shown to the room that the innkeeper said was “the most historic room in the house”, whatever that means. The room was indescribable, whatever I say does not compare to the harsh reality of the room. Dirty, unsanitary, filthy, dirty ceramic tile floor with spills, walls in grave disrepair. Horrible patch job with parts of wall crumbling. Bath tub had some black mold. Wall under bathroom sink had a horrible case of black mold. Front door in disrepair, you would need to see the pictures of the place to believe it Front door lock did not seem to be working. Absolutely did not feel safe there. DID NOT STAY. We checked right back out. Was not offered any other options. Had to find another place to stay, regardless of the cost. The entire grounds were unsafe and in disrepair. The first thing to hit me when i walked in the room, was the smell of dirty water. I don’t know how to really explain. Like a cold, wet, unkept building and there was no smoke detector or carbon monoxide alarm. It’s really a shame:-(. They had both windows open to air out the room I guess. The front desk person closed one so I can’t say, but I closed the bathroom one and it had no screen.
