Won't be going back...

I was disappointed with the Avoca House during my trip to Kanab. I took my mother on the trip for her birthday as a surprise. The hotel was not located in the main area of town; the room was very hot because the ac unit was insufficient to cool the room; and the view of the surrounding neighbors unkempt homes and yards detracted from the 'victorian charm'.
Our plan was to stay 3 nights. After the 1st night of little sleep in our hot room, we asked to switch rooms (because we were the only guests it shouldn't have been a problem). The response was 'well, you know, it's hot here'; & that all the ac units worked about the same so switching rooms really wouldn't make a difference. Also that 'he didn't handle any of that & we would need to discuss it with his wife when she got back in about 2 1/2 hrs'. Well, we were tired, dirty, and hot after sweating all day and thought that was a little ridiculous to be asked to wait 2 1/2 hrs for his wife to come home (since we had moved out of the other room 2 days prior he suggested we wait on the porch). So we left and went to the Holiday Inn. It was in the middle of town, very clean, & surprisingly....even though it's hot there, the ac worked incredibly.
Oh, & I was also charged for all 3 nights later on my credit card when we only stayed one....
We will be going back to Kanab yearly to volunteer at 'Best Friends Animal Sanctuary', but we will NOT be staying at the Avoca House again.
