After staying at Bybee's Historic Inn, 883 Old Stage Rd., Jacksonville, OR 97530 the nights of April 14 and 15, 2012, the two managers/owners, Tina Flaherty and Vikki Maddock, came into my room shortly before 11 am checkout saying in a rehearsed way, "We're going to charge your credit card for the cut crystal glass you took." (Meaning from the room.) I said that they would NOT be charging it because I did not take their glass. To which they said, "We're going to search your bags." I said they could. One of them started to search my bags as we began to walk out to my van. I am a retired professor, 63 and disabled. Tina was outside with me when I said I was going to call the police because of their false accusation of theft. She said don't call the police. I said, then go in there and the two of you find the cut crystal glass. When she returned, saying "they" had found it, I asked where it was, and she said, "She didn't say." When I asked if they were still accusing me, she said no, I was not responsible for the cut crystal glass. I said, "Put it in writing." After this was done and I left, Officer McKay of Jackson County Sheriff's office took my complaint and suggested I also file one with the BBB. On April 24, 2012, I wrote Flaherty and Maddock, demanding a refund of the $199 plus $2 tax I paid. Their reply: that it was not their intent to cause me psychological harm or accuse me of theft. They were merely asking me where the cut crystal glass was and if I "could please check my belongings in case I unintentionally packed the glass." These two lying weirdos are crazy and I deserve a refund for their ruination of my vacation and their raising of my blood pressure. They seem to like single women guests for their scam, as per the 2011 comments of Keri L. on yelp.com. If BBB had this inn's address and zip listed CORRECTLY in Jacksonville OR, NOT IN CENTRAL POINT, OR, more complaints could and would have appeared. Also, the breakfasts were bad and measly. After Tina stated that a teapot on the mantle was made by someone who made them for Princess Di, I looked underneath it and there was a sticker saying "Made in China." Tina said "Oh" and quickly removed it with her fingernail. Need I say more, such as to avoid this place like the plague, or what? read more
