Romeo Inn, Ashland

Fabulous, delightful inn, innkeepers are attentive to (nearly) every detail. I read all reviews I could find about this inn before booking and questioned Deana, the innkeeper, directly about the "unrelaxing" review on Trip Advisor. She gave a courteous and non-condemning response that satisfied me enough to go ahead and book. My husband and I agreed: we are so glad I did. Light timers: On only 2 lights of many in the living room to ensure that guests returning late from the theatre can see their way in. We returned at 11:45 pm. and really appreciated them. The innkeepers do make an effort to provide you with alternatives to practices that would shorten the life of their supplies. For example: they provide generous and fluffy pool and spa towel and ask that you don't use room towels at the pool. There are special "industrial use wipes" in your room, nicely presented, for cleaning shoes, etc, also to avoid the use of room towels for such things. I saw this as thoughtful and helpful. Someone else might see this as "controlling". If I was trying to find fault I couldn't come up with more than that the cookies in the cookie jar were stale and the jar was not refilled when only 4 old cookies were left in the jar. Also, the welcoming tour and orientation perhaps could be offered after guests have a chance to use the restroom facilities and freshen up after a long, hot drive BUT I wasn't looking to find fault and we found these 2 things to be comparatively minor. B & B Inns are run by individuals, and we guests get to enjoy and benefit from that individuality and sometimes get to puzzle over it. These hosts greeted us with the incredible news that they had upgraded us from one of their more modest rooms to their grandest suite "because it was available and that's just what we do when we can". We had a private door that was only 2 steps to the pool and spa, private garden, HUGE very private apt like room with sunken sitting area and huge bathroom. We thoroughly enjoyed this Cambridge Suite (which generally is $40 more per night than the room we had reserved.) I can't thank our innkeepers enough for the lovely experience.
