Would Recommend After Renovations Completed

by Hanifah

We experienced "pros and cons" during our stay. We chose Ms. Elsie's for a birthday vacation getaway. The Pros: We ordered special items which were excellently presented upon our arrival into the "King Suite." The presentation, the cleanliness and beauty of the King Suite exceeded our expectations at first glance! The large bathroom was a feast for the eyes! The landscaping from the outside of this B&B was quaint and very unassuming, but the decor inside was absolutely beautiful, we were swept away to the Caribbean! Our hostess and chef was pleasant, and each meal was a caribbean delight and elegantly presented! Definitely our favorite part of the weekend! The Cons: The advertisement stated swimming pool, tennis court/basketball court, but we were not allowed to use the Court because of repairs needed (so we were told) and we wondered for how long because the court clearly had not been used for years! The Pool was covered in leaves and insects and was never cleaned up for us to use during our stay. The Suite needed a little Raid sprayed around the room! The Jacuzzi had low water pressure so it took forever to fill the tub while it made a constant loud noise resembling old unused pipes cranking up! To add insult to injury, we were told, after the fact, not to use the towels located inside of the bathroom cabinets anymore (we thought those were included since they were in there!) Overall: Our stay was pleasant enough, but for the "price" charged for the King Suite per night, the "amenities" that Ms. Elsie's advertised should have been as excellent as the food!
