Maysville Manor Bed & Breakfast

Thoroughly disappointing. That's the only way I can describe Maysville Manor B&B/Hotel/Hostel. Upon arriving we ascended the somewhat rickety (but historic!) stairs to the second floor to our large, clean, and tastefully decorated room. There are five rooms on the second floor serviced by one bathroom. But that was OK-ish because it was historic! The library upstairs had a copy of Emily Post's "Etiquette" proudly displayed on the table with lamp - this is gonna be a high brow kinda joint, thinks I to myself... Nah... Not even close! First thing that I noticed was that upon arrival we were not greeted by the host or hostess, or anyone for that matter. Instead I received a text telling me the 'hidden' location of our room key, which we retrieved and entered the establishment through the wide open front door. During the evening there was, what can only be described as, a boisterous group of approx. 12 people in the dining room downstairs directly below our room. Their boisterity continued well into the night making even watching a movie on our laptop nigh-on impossible. This racket finally died-down about 11 PM and we proceeded to try to sleep on a mattress that was about a decade past it's sell-by date. But the coup de grace was the 'Continental Breakfast' the next morning. I have stayed in B&B's on several continents and had Continental Breakfasts in nearly the same number of places. But never have I experienced one that consisted of two over-ripe bananas, several oranges of the same ripeness, cold cereal (as in, kept in the refrigerator cold!), do-it-yourself coffee with no directions as to where the coffee cups were, three packets of artificial sweetener and a coffee creamer jug with about 1/2 oz of (warm!) creamer in it. And again - no sign of a Host or Hostess. I wish that I could be more complimentary, I really do, but my duty is to speak the truth and forewarn other travelers so they do not find themselves in this place.
