We stayed here for one night in transit across New Brunswick. Gary was very welcoming after our long day's drive. He filled us in on the history and character of the building, which he takes quite seriously and wants to live up to. The building is old, but well maintained, with wood paneling and antique-style furnishings (with the exception of the breakfast tables).
We wish you well on your travels. Thank you for your visit and your review.
Regards
Gary
We were on an overnight trip for our 40th anniversary. Our daughter made all the arrangements with the Inn. It was such a surprise. They fell over backwards to organize the trip with our daughter. They suggested all sorts of things to my daughter, arranged the events, and got the best prices for her. My wife is a vegetarian and they took that into account too. It was a fantastic success overall. The accommodation itself was very interesting and different. History at a very reasonable price! The deck over the river is wonderful. Their cocktails are at the best we have ever tried. I don't think that we have had a better stay and I wish them every success - the really deserve it on the evidence of this.
Thank you Mike, you flatter us. We were all to glad to help arrange your special weekend and enjoyed visiting with you tremendously and look forward to seeing you again.
Best wishes.
Gary and Lisa
My sister, my niece, and I stayed at Steamers for four nights in mid-April, 2017. Our hosts Gary and Lisa could not have been more hospitable and helpful. The breakfasts were always hot, hearty enough for a soldier, and varied each day. (The to-die-for maple syrup was very dark and top quality!) Especially appreciated were Gary's skill at bartending, and his innovative cocktail recipes. Above and beyond the call of duty, Gary and Lisa also gave me tremendously valuable and much appreciated input on a speech which I was writing. So we look forward to staying at Steamers again whenever we travel to Gagetown Village.
Thank you for your review and your stay. We truly enjoyed visiting with you.
This is a very pleasant place to stay, the rooms are furnished with beautiful heritage pieces, the beds are clean and comfortable. Good to have ensuite bath/shower in each guest room. The breakfasts that we were served were hot and tasty.
The bar and tea room maintains good hours for a hot or cold beverage at a reasonable price. Service is prompt and friendly.
We enjoyed the river view from room 6.
Thank you for the review. I am sorry I missed your stay.
As a customer of a bed and breakfast, I have certain expectations. As for the breakfast half of the business, we were served a plate with one egg, a few potatoes from a frozen bag, one slice of toast, and half way through, coffee. We smelled bacon but were not served this. One of the cats did join us, sitting in a car next to us, walking across the table.
As for the bed part, it was adequate. However there was no television reserved for guests. I was welcomed to join the owners as they ate dinner and watched their favorite show.
Not a way to grow a business.
Thank you for your review. Even negative reviews allow us the chance to connect with our past and future guests and assure them of a quality experience, as well it gives us the opportunity to improve.
Let me address your comments about the breakfast portion of your stay. Breakfast orders are taken the night before and it is explained that breakfast is served family style in the breakfast room (which guests are shown). Family style means hot food is served in large bowls or plates, along with; yogurt, fresh fruit, coffee, juice, etc. for the guest to help themselves. Eggs however are cooked to order and naturally are served separately. I suspect you were served your eggs and fresh toast where ever you selected to sit to eat (hashbrowns would normally be served in a large bowl, but with
only two guests Brent may have made an exception), and you neglected to proceed to the breakfast room to serve up the remainder of your breakfast. Upon seeing you had not gotten yourselves your coffee, coffee was likely brought to you as a courtesy. I do apologize in that the cat was not noticed and removed.
Our property is a turn of the century building and our rooms are themed as such which does not include televisions. Most Bed and Breakfasts share one common room where guests and hosts typically interact which is the case with our television room. In addition however our property has multiple areas to relax including the library or the main sitting room. Please keep in mind that when staying at a Bed and Breakfast you are staying in someones home.
Reviewing the feedback you have left to other accommodations along your travels, may I suggest that perhaps your accommodation needs would be better served by larger chain hotels.
Regards.
