Mackinnon House and Archie's B&B

The room was absolutely gorgeous, and it was a good place to stay. We did have a bit of a struggle with self check-in, and breakfast was disappointing, just some yogurt, cereal and tea or coffee, so we went out to eat instead.

We booked two rooms for four people and were placed in separate buildings. Now they say we should have asked to be together, though that seems like the obvious arrangement. One room had a dead spider on a chair. In the other, the shower had a bar of soap that had already been opened and used. The sheets and carpet both smelled moldy. Music in the hall played all night and made it hard to sleep. When we did get to sleep, the cheap breakfast woke us up. There’s nowhere to put clean clothes while showering, so you have to leave them on the toilet. There was nobody there to help. When we tried to tell them how disappointed we were, the next message we got was automatic and asked us to leave a review. For what it costs, guests should be treated WAY better.

The room was basic at best, and it felt very expensive for what you get. There are only a few restaurants within walking distance, and their hours were limited, so we ended up eating from a food truck. I gave the service two stars, though really you never have any contact with the staff. My main issue behind the three-star rating was being advised not to drink the water. At almost $350.00 a night, you’d think it would at least be safe.

The breakfast was awful. There was no milk, yogurt or bread, so the only options were jam or dry cereal. The room heaters didn’t work either.
