Loved this place. First time at a B&B and loved the experience. We came for a mini babymoon. So much more personal than a hotel. The breakfast was delicious and they accommodated my lactose intolerance for every breakfast. It’s near a cute park that we enjoyed for morning walks. If given the chance we will definitely come back. Thank you for such an enjoyable babymoon!

Overall the Gables was as advertised. The room was cozy, the bed was very comfortable but the shower was small and the shower head smaller. The pancakes were great and they accommodated our vegetarian diet. The hosts were warm, welcoming and very helpful.

A step back in time with hospitable owners
The owners are very responsive and helpful. My parents and I stayed 3 nights. We loved that they supplied cold water bottles and complementary wine. One morning we had to leave earlier than breakfast time and they had "to go" bags waiting for us. The other 2 mornings we enjoyed the hot breakfast made to order. The owners are from the Philippines and made some waffles that were inspired by their country. So unique and delicious! They helped me navigate the trolley system and recommended local restaurants for dinner. The Gables is very conveniently located in a safe neighborhood and off-street parking is available. I loved all the woodwork in the home.

Enough
The stay was good. The many requests to review are not. The texting...not. I understand the importance of reviews to merchants and business people. But give the customer a moment to breathe. I did not stay at this b&b. My wife and son did. I forwarded the first two requests for review to my wife. She is very busy. I am very busy. I hope I've made my concerns clear.
