The Emig Mansion♡

Okay but could have been so much better with just a little care and thought.

Beautiful building. Spotless bathroom. Good location. Friendly staff.

− The approach to Emig Mansion was hard to spot. No welcome signs or signs for parking. The public entrance looked unofficial, untidy. Poison ivy was overrunning the steps. Sheets and towels were clean but cheap and skimpy. We were expecting breakfast after reading the rave reviews for the lovely breakfast but were told we had not paid the extra so received just the continental breakfast. This was disappointing but obviously our own fault for not paying more attention to the actual booking. The bathroom was clean but the bedroom floor was not. It would be nice to have information about the house and its history written somewhere for curious guests because the 2 staff members we met were obviously busy and we saw each one only briefly. There was no opportunity for more than a short tour of the rooms and facilities.

The hospitality was amazing

Lovely historic setting inside, neglected grounds and exterior outside, disappointing breakfast

Mansion interior is beautiful and and in fair condition

− My booking included breakfast but a hot/fresh breakfast was not provided. Apparently the host did not know that my booking included breakfast and said we needed to specifically request breakfast at an additional cost. I think there is a communication breakdown between us, the host and booking.com, resulting in us not getting a fresh breakfast we thought we had paid for, and the host insisting the problem was our fault. The mansion exterior and grounds are very neglected. The neighborhood surrounding the mansion is part industrial area and part run-down homes. This wouldn't be so bad if the mansion grounds were better maintained.

The mansion itself was nice. The grounds were nice

− Abandoned cars around the property. Breakfast is not included in a place that calls itself bed and breakfast. They want $15 per person extra, which is ridiculous. There was some black hair all over the bathroom which I've experienced in every hotel. I go to all my life. No matter what the price. The porch was cluttered. Mosquitoes all over the place because of standing water. The parking area needed a trim because of poison ivy. Room was nice, but in the attic, so the ceiling was slanted.So, you bump your head. They claimed to be almost all booked, but there was hardly anyone there and no one had breakfast to my knowledge.So it's not a lot of value for your money.There's other places, we only picked this place because it was three miles from the wedding venue.

Exceptional hosts in an historic mansion with a stunning interior.

So many positives! The host family is lovely and helpful, and Lori created masterful breakfasts. The interior is stunning with period architecture and gorgeous stained glass panels. The room was cozy, just enough room for 2. Drawbacks included Booking.com promising included breakfasts as Genius+ (which was a lie), but the meals were worth the extra amount. The exterior needs sprucing up, though we were assured the constant rain since the beginning of May has delayed the exterior upkeep. A very pleasant stay, and we would stay at Emig Mansion again!
