The Bartlett Hotel and Guesthouse

The location.

Very few facilities in the room, no tea or coffee making facilities or a fridge. Noisy at night, to be expected in this location but double glazed windows would make a difference, which it doesn't have

The bar/restaurant downstairs.

The room was on the third floor which meant that I heard A LOT of noise from the cars that drove by, people yelling and from the bar across the street. After purchasing earplugs and Nyquil after the first night of very little sleep, I was able to sleep through the night. There was no AC or even a ceiling fan, so the room will get very stuffy during Summer and Fall months. Normally I wouldn't care because I don't normally do more than change and sleep in a hotel room. However, the building is VERY old and not up to current building standards. That being said, there is very little airflow throughout the building. You WILL return to a VERY stuffy room if you do not keep the windows open during the day. Also, there is no screen on the windows. Make sure not to open too widely unless you don't mind birds and bugs flying into your room. There were no basic accessories such as an iron, ironing board or hairdryer. My floor wasn't cleaned well. The strands of hair that were on the floor ended up in my bed after they stuck to my feet. The staircase is so narrow, more than one person can't use it at a time. When I asked to check out an hour later, I was told there would be a $50 charge to do so. When I asked if I could keep my suitcase at the front desk while I ate breakfast, I was told the charge would be $2 per bag. I had to ask for an iron twice. I had to request fresh towels twice after telling the person at the front desk I would like fresh towels every other day (I stayed for five nights). Never again.

good and bad

- fast Internet - inner yard facing room was quiet - good price for the location

- holes in the towels - bath faucet handle very awkward, hard to use - sink drain not draining properly - soap/shampoo/etc. dispensers shoot all over you, not just drip down - squeaky mattress - small outdated TV, no channels set up
