GPiece of Crap

One of the biggest problems guests had was finding the bed and breakfast. Even using GPS units many guests said that they got lost along the way. So, expect to take some extra time before you actually find your destination.v

Maybe You Should bring the Kitchen Sink

All guests agreed that the lack of complimentary toiletries in the bathrooms was disappointing. Many guests also said that the towels provided in the bathrooms didn't seem to be useful for drying anything. So, you should definitely bring your own toiletries if you stay there.
