Olcott House Bed & Breakfast Inn

Merryweather Inn was the best! The room was so comfy and clean, I slept like a baby. Beth was super nice and helpful—she told us where to eat and about fun things to do. The breakfast was amazing, she made buckwheat pancakes and they were fluffy and delicious. I would definitely stay here again.

When we arrived our room key was not in our room. I sent a text to the owner and was told that she would look into it. No apology. That set the tone for what was to come. Our room had a picture (that had clearly fallen off of the wall due to a broken screw) sitting on top of a filthy armoire. There were pieces of metal in one of the dresser drawers. There was a broken fan stored under the closet/ clothes rack. Perhaps the owner thought that we weren't going to use any of these for storing our clothes?? It was obvious that little care was taken when decorating/setting up the room. The television was installed with very little care. There was a picture placed over what looked like a patch job on the bathroom wall. The bathroom sink needed to be cleaned with a little more care (brown scum build-up). We were told that breakfast was promptly at 8:30 and that we should not be late. The first morning my bacon was half cooked. Not what we considered to be a "gourmet" breakfast. The second morning we were waiting in the dining room as a man came walking through carrying a container of eggs. Needless to say, breakfast was not ready at 8:30. There was no silverware on the table. When someone let her know that we needed silverware she came back in with a hand full of napkins and a hand full of silverware. She said,"I'm not rolling them" and handed both to the first person to pass around the table!!! The eggs were runny, the potatoes were burnt, and the ham was cold. The grounds received equal attention. The only impressive thing was that the bed was very comfortable. I agree with some of the other reviewers that this place has great potential. However, until it reaches that point...don't waste your money. I do not mind paying more for accommodations if the quality warrants it. This doesn't even come close! I do blame myself for not reading through all of the reviews. If I would have done that I would have known by the owners response to the negative ones that this was not a wise choice.
