We booked Room 2 at The Parsonage expecting a traditional bed-and-breakfast stay in a historic…read morehome. The property is listed as a B&B on several platforms, the website features breakfast imagery, and the booking form asks for dietary restrictions, so we reasonably assumed breakfast and access to common areas were part of the experience. Instead, Room 2 functions more like a small private room rental with limited access to the house. We were surprised to learn upon arrival that we did not have access to the main house common areas. For us, shared spaces are a major part of what makes staying in a bed and breakfast enjoyable. The room itself was also extremely small. With a queen bed and a twin bed in the room, there was essentially no space to move around comfortably and no seating area at all. For three guests, there was nowhere to sit except on the beds, and simply walking around the room was difficult due to the tight layout. Breakfast was also not served. Two muffins were left for us despite the reservation being for three guests, and despite the booking form asking for dietary restrictions. We have stayed at many bed and breakfasts over the years throughout California--both coastal and wine country--and the experiences we've loved have always included warm hospitality, welcoming hosts, shared spaces to relax in, and memorable breakfasts. The common thread in these stays is that guests are encouraged to enjoy the home itself, interact with hosts, and relax in shared spaces. That sense of hospitality and atmosphere is the reason we choose B&Bs. While the building at The Parsonage is historic, Room 2 itself felt very modern and generic rather than reflecting the character of a historic inn. To be fair, the owners later pointed out that the website includes a detailed description and a floor plan showing the limited access for Room 2. However, we found the wording easy to misinterpret when booking, particularly given the B&B categorization, breakfast imagery on the site, and the dietary restriction field in the booking form. At approximately $280 for the night (including a $50 fee for a third guest), the experience did not match what we personally expect from a bed-and-breakfast stay. This room may work fine for travelers who simply want a small private room and plan to spend most of their time out in town. However, for guests specifically seeking the hospitality, shared spaces, and atmosphere that typically define a bed-and-breakfast experience, Room 2 may not meet those expectations.

As soon as my husband opened the door we could see how cute, clean and well decorated this cute little cottage was. So light, airy, warm, inviting and friendly color choices. We had a living room with a good sized TV, absolutely BEAUTIFUL bathroom, kitchenette area with everything you would need if you stayed for many nights even! I loved the tea options!! So many coffee, tea and hot chocolate options with everything we needed. The bedroom was so perfect! We literally loved everything about this place so much! Whoever helped decorate this place did such a fantastic job! I honestly loved everything...from the little things like the plugs with USB ports near the bed, the ceiling fans, solo wall/corner AC/heaters with remotes, WiFi, TV options, cute little hooks with 2 hangers on each...to the perfect bedding, comfy couch, vintage dresser and the cutest little 2 seated table. Enjoy your stay...much better than any fancy hotel we've stayed at in my opinion! Definitely fitting for this quick little getaway from the city!

Nice little details throughout the room, like small plants. The bed was super comfortable and clean. It was very quiet at night, good sleep! Check in and check out is easy with the box for keys. I did talk to a staff member briefly at check in and they were very friendly. Easy 8 min walk down the street into town to all the bars and restaurants, which is great! The only "issues" I can think of is that the tub didn't drain super well so water accumulates in the tub during a shower, and the small sink is too close to the shelf above it to wash your face. Everything else great, would stay here again!

Throughout the process, Cami supported and guided us with patience and expertise, especially as we bought from out of state.

That insight was crucial for us as newcomers, helping us avoid poor choices on properties that seemed better in photos and on paper than in person.

We arrived before check in time and Andrea greeted us with a smile and offered to check us in early. I told her I have sleeping issues and could we be placed in a quiet area with a room. She said she knew the building with rooms 163-170. When we got to the room it was nice and warm, (a problem that we had at The Pines, a small space heater only because the wall unit wasn't working and no maintenance on the property.) We're old and there's good lighting for night time on the exterior. I left the party at 9 PM and stopped by the office for an extra blanket. The two women working were friendly and helpful. The bathroom had a new shower, glass doors and a rain shower head. I always bring my grey slippers for travel. The carpet was very clean and I was so pleased because I'm not used to that. I told my hubby, this is where we are staying in the future when we drive down to see the family.

When he started checking me in, I said what type of room I had reserved. He responded that he didn't know what rooms were available and this was at 4 PM. He said that they had been full the night before and were still cleaning. He asked somebody who barely spoke English to go check and when they came back, they said they had found a room. I went to the room and was appalled. It was dark and very small and did not look like the photos that were on the website advertising the hotel. Instead it looked outdated and there was no roll in shower as requested. The guy at the front counter did not seem to know what a rolling shower was. He seemed to think that a shower stall was a rolling shower and I tried to explain to him that it is an accessible shower big enough for a wheelchair to go in and he just didn't get it so he said they had no rooms like that and so I asked for a refund and I spent an hour there trying to get this all resolved. It was very upsetting. He had to call the manager on the phone. I asked some proof for cancellation and he wouldn't provide me with anything so I left worrying about getting a refund so then I spent a half an hour contacting the third-party company and also emailing the manager of the hotel to document everything as I was concerned I wouldn't get a refund. I am now waiting up to 30 days to get the money back.
