Ellerbeck Mansion Bed & Breakfast

Wonderful old historic mansion. Someone took the time to try to bring the old beauty back to its old glory. Location: Close to town attractions. Friendly hosts. Competent? Read below. Place to park off the street.

First breakfast: A loaf of moldy bread and stale pastries. How long was the loaf present before we arrived? Place a loaf of preservative laden commercial bread on your table. Wait until the bread becomes moldy. That's how long the bread was waiting for me before I discovered it. "Over the hill" bananas. Didn't want to try the fruit bowl after looking at what I just saw. Bacon and eggs were OK - they were freshly cooked. I mentioned the stale pastries and was rewarded the next day with what appeared to be just a rearrangement of the same old pastries. The next two breakfasts were alright - nothing that would suggest, however, a fresh and thoughtful presentation of standard fare. Fresh bananas appeared the last day. The bran cereal ran out and was replaced when I brought it to their attention. Since we needed to leave the last day before before the 7:30 breakfast time, the hostess prepared a well done yogurt dish. Please note: THIS IS NOT A QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD! The B&B is located at an intersection with stop signs. Traffic consists of: roaring buses, unbridled motorcycles, cars with muffler issues. In addition: a next door neighbor's dog barks at all hours of the day and night. Windows with only a single pane to dampen the noise. This is not a place for peace and quiet! We were just one room of several and, perhaps, the others were better. Didn't get a chance to try them. Bed was way too soft for me - think spoon! Bathroom facilities were adequate but spartan. Spotted several instances of only half-hearted attempts at dusting, etc.. This old beauty of a home deserves better! ATTENTION. TO. DETAIL. IS. EVERYTHING!
