We were originally supposed to stay in the Azalea room. Upon arriving, we were absolutely shocked at the condition of the room and walking path to get to the room. First, it's in the basement (exterior access only) - completely isolated from the main part of the house. Second, the room itself was awful - the bedpost was falling a part (like, catch it in your hands falling a part), the bedspread was filthy with brown spots on it and the matching pillows. Finally, the renovation looked like a DIY project gone wrong.
My husband refused to unpack and immediately started searching for new accommodations. I called the Inn manager Chemise to let her know about the state of the accommodations. Initially, she offered to move us to a new room - but that there would be a higher price. After letting her know that the state of the room we had was well below expectations and not as pictured at $325/night - she finally agreed just to move us to a different room without additional charges.
The new room, the Dahlia suite was MUCH better - but it was still lacking in amenities. It definitely had the historic charm down, but it was missing basic staples like: TV, iron, convenient outlets to charge your electronic devices while you're in the bed, privacy in the bathroom, etc.
All in all, we would not stay at the Amethyst Garden Inn. The place needs too much work and there are much nicer places that are cheaper. Pretty disappointed.
