Over price and under value.

Very disappointed. !) over price: the room was $199 but final bill is almost $250 with all added cost. 2) insufficient and bland unappealing breakfast, which is far fetched from pics shown on the website

It’s a charming old house. Contactless, keyless entry and checkin. Nice neighborhood, a short walk through a park to my conference. Everything worked as described. It felt odd not to see anyone working there but we had everything we needed.

Great Experience

Amazing from the first step inside this victorian beauty, greeted by Amy and Jeff and given the tour of the first floor and amenities available 24/7 for small fridge, wet bar, coffee and tea. Great location, easy free parking, very close to downtown..we drove but could have walked the 3 or 4 blocks, excellent home made hot breakfast in mornings. Just a lovely experience, and room super comfy. The stairs are steep and railing on one side, so careful up and down but this is mentioned in other reviews. Alot of care and planning from the owners for guest satisfaction. Unique one of a million places to try while visiting "the Zoo".

fantastic visit May 2024

We had a fabulous stay for 2 nights/3 days. Great proximity to the downtown (maybe a 10 minute walk to the downtown restaurants we chose). We got both kinds of breakfast -- table service and a take-away bag. It was delicious. We would absolutely stay again. Thank you!

Under-charmed

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).
