There were bugs. Big bugs! I’ve always wanted to stay there, but I was disappointed that the room and especially the bathroom wasn’t clean.

It was quaint and had a great location. Staff was helpful but leaves around 5:30 everyday. The room needed updating: had several areas where it needed to be repainted. Also it was far from full yet we got a room with no view. There was no way to pay more for a view or I would have, and would have been fine if the Inn had been full but we got a middle room with zero view when other better view rooms appeared to be empty.

I have stayed at the Tranquil House Inn around 5 times now as I enjoy the location and past cleanliness, HOWEVER, It is in dire need of a room cleansing- very poor towels and sheets. No maid service, even for simple things like emptying trash. The humidifier was full on my arrival, so I had to empty...room very damp, hence the mold in the bathroom. For the room rate, it was certainly not in par. Hoping the owners put in the necessary upgrades to keep the Tranquil House going as it could be a gem.

We had a lovely stay at Tranquill House Inn. Staff was very responsive to requests. The only issues that kept me from giving a five star review was the need for better sheets and pillows. Sheets were very rough and pillows were old and well used. There was also a dehumidifier running in our room that needed to be emptied twice a day and it was very loud. We had to leave it on or our bedding felt damp at night.
