My friend and I visited for the murder mystery weekend. I have stayed at another Bed and Breakfast in Jim Thorpe so it’s hard not to compare. The room was what to be expected. Queen bed and a private bathroom. There was no mini fridge in the room, which was a bummer because we had leftovers that we had to pitch. There is no TV in the room which I wasn’t surprised about. They do have free Wi-Fi. The employees at the mansion are friendly and helpful. The mansion is on a hill, so if you are not active, I would not recommend staying here. The parking is tight, so do not bring a big vehicle. The mansion is well kept and clean. We enjoyed the covered porch, but the breakfasts are lacking. They were basic…quiche (tasted like store bought) potatoes, microwaveable sausage, and white toast, and a piece of cantaloupe with a couple of berries. We were really looking forward to the murder mystery. In the description is said cocktail hour with hordeurves, dinner, and dessert with coffee. I was expecting open bar, but received a coin for one complimentary drink on a very limited menu. The hordeurves were decent, again frozen meatballs, cold shrimp, fruits and veggies. The dinner was a buffet. Fish (can’t review bc I don’t eat fish), chicken which was delicious, green beans, and pasta and roll. There were no other drinks besides water unless you wanted to pay for them. The murder mystery was fun and entertaining. We were in two rooms so when the actor was talking in the other room, he could not hear him because the air conditioning was so loud. For dessert, they served those shells you get in the supermarket next to the strawberries, along with some berries and canned whipped cream. That was it Sunday mornings breakfast was banana pancakes that didn’t look like pancakes, quiche again that looks store-bought, potatoes, and fruit. I was expecting much more for me to bed-and-breakfast, considering you go to a bed-and-breakfast for a nice homemade breakfast. If they could improve on the breakfast, I would go back to.
