Super cute historic house turned Bed & Breakfast. Outstanding breakfast (just wish the portion was a little bigger).
But here’s where the charm was over-shadowed: each room has an Amazon Echo Show (mind you these CAN have cameras activated on them. -2stars). The purpose: virtual concierge - you know, something to ask about the area and get recommendations. My thoughts: most of us carry the internet in our pockets already. Ditch the modernization of an Echo and lose the optics of a possible camera in the room. Besides the B&B already has a well-composed and cute “recommendations” board down stairs.
In keeping inline with old-world charm, the room had an old-school spring core mattress that was neither comfortable nor restful when sleeping with another human. For over $300/night, please give me a better mattress (-1star).
Lastly, they have self-serve beverage fridge and coffee/tea stations on each floor (very thoughtful) but they were depleted, unfortunately.
As a bonus: the owners greeted us when we arrived. Turns out our room was on the 3rd floor up very steep and narrow stairs (no elevator because it’s a historic house. I get it). It would’ve been a nice touch to offer to carry up our bags. We wouldn’t have burdened them but it might be needed by other guests (and the consideration would’ve garnered a higher rating).
Would we come back to Kalamazoo House? Ultimately, no. For over $300/night I want more comfort and privacy (ditch the Echo Show, upgrade the beds).
