Guest Ratings & Reviews
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The location was perfect for exploring the shops, restaurants, and bars, although the room was a bit small on the top floor with a shared bath. The service was attentive and welcoming, making my stay pleasant overall.
I absolutely loved my stay at this charming bed and breakfast! The location at the north end of Broadway was fantastic, offering convenience and a cozy atmosphere. The service was exceptional, with a very helpful owner who made my late check-in smooth. The only drawback was the continental breakfast, which didn't cater well to my diabetic husband.
I had a mixed experience at Bacon Mansion. On the positive side, it's centrally located, near stunning attractions, but the room was very small and cramped, making it a bit uncomfortable. The continental breakfast lacked hot food options, which was a downside.
