Disappointing

Chester Bulkley House B&B

Melanie S (3 reviews)

the mattress was as old as the house and super uncomfortable. it was also two doubles put together to create a king, so that added extra discomfort. The breakfast was also disappointing because it was just French toast with no kind of protein at all. My husband is diabetic so this was extra annoying. The innkeeper wasnt very friendly either. there's a sketchy looking pub across the street but the bartender shared her ice cream cake with us so they were pretty nice.

Management Response
I know you can,t please everyone, after being an innkeeper for 11 years 99% of my guest are very pleased with their accommodations. If a guest has special dietary needs they should let the innkeeper know. My French toast with spice peaches was reviewed by the Hartford courant on 12/17/09, and is my most popular breakfast I serve.
