Although we each had some options for breakfast, there was virtually nothing for either of us to eat during the evening social happy hour or later dessert hour. Although not a medical dietary restriction, I prefer to maintain a Vegan diet. My wife has Celiac Disease, so must eat gluten-free. The other aspect of our visit that was disappointing was the fact that when we made our reservations, and again just days before our arrival, the Inn sent us an email asking if we had any dietary restrictions or preferences. It wasn't until we checked in and looked out on the courtyard from the parlor of the Eliza Thompson House that she realized that the courtyard belonged to the adjoining property, while the courtyard of the Eliza Thompson House was completely bereft of any Halloween decorations. Additionally, the property next door had their entire courtyard decorated with ghosts, goblins, skeletons, etc., but there was absolutely nothing done to the courtyard of the Inn's property (or pretty much anywhere else in the house, for that matter.) This was actually kind of comical because when we first drove up to the Inn and found a parking spot right in front of the Eliza Thompson House, my wife noticed the courtyard and got excited to see the decorations. The front desk didn't even have any candy when trick-or-treaters came by early Sunday evening. We were completely disappointed that the Inn didn't even seem to acknowledge Halloween, much less make a big deal about it. Unfortunately, in this case, it definitely was not. But money is secondary if the experience is worth the price. All told, the charge was $1,514 for 3 nights. Not to mention an additional $20/night as an "amenities" fee. We did so even though the room was going for $479/night (before taxes) for both Friday & Saturday night of Halloween weekend, and another $309 for Sunday night. My wife and I had watched Youtube videos discussing the "haunted" aspect of the Inn, especially the R Bruce Room, so thought this would be a perfect place to spend Halloween. It wasn't until we checked in and looked out on the courtyard from the parlor of the Eliza Thompson House that she realized that the courtyard belonged to.
