보너 가든스 B&B

The hotel is a historic house in a historic neighborhood. The location was close to the zoo and near excellent dining options. The room was great - especially the bed. Breakfast was a minus but that could be in part due to COVID. Good price, great location, just don't expect too much.

I had a disturbing incident. Around midnight a woman who apparently works for Bonner Gardens unlocked our door around midnight while we were asleep to ask me if I was checked in to the room. I told her yes and she asked again saying that her boss told her no one was checked into the room. She sort of said sorry and closed the door - it has to be locked with a code. I just can't imagine why someone would be checking on rooms at midnight. I cannot recommend Bonner Gardens.

I love old homes, but if you want to use it as a B&B it should be updated in the exterior. Extremely dated and old. But I heard someone just bought it, so maybe they will put pretty furniture in it. The neighborhood is beautiful. But the street that runs down the side of the house is extremely noisy. Cops cars, fire trucks, cars racing.

We particularly enjoyed the thoughtfulness in leaving a stacked refrigerator for guests so we could get our own breakfast early in the morning. The coffee maker was great and available any time. Also the fact that the living room and dining room were available to use during our stay. It really felt like a bed and breakfast, though (because of Covid) we were on our own.

Overall, the hotel was a good value for the location. I stayed in the Les Cowboys room. The room is truly a studio because there is no door separating the bedroom from the bathroom is private enough for those that are well-acquainted. The water pressure in the shower could have been better it took a lot longer to wash my hair than normal. The pool is lovely. Parking was difficult due to the limited space (a back up camera is almost a necessity). It did appear that one could park on the street so that might be a viable alternative. Honestly, my biggest issue was that the AC could not keep up with the heat. There is one window A/C unit and it appeared to be big enough to provide AC for the whole room but despite the fact that the unit was set to the lowest rating it never cooled down to that setting. It definitely did not get below 72 degrees and the coolest the room ever was in the middle of the night.
