It was Wonderful!
These folks are causing me to break with tradition. I rarely give five stars. But I have to here. My wife stayed a night at the Bottger to celebrate here birthday. And it was just wonderful. Everything a bed and breakfast should be. And we’ve stayed at a bunch.
First the ‘bed’ part. Bottger is a delightful updated old mansion. They’ve done a marvelous job restoring the place. Our room was quite nice. A surprise was that there were numerous outlets. Rare in older properties. The whole house was updated, well maintained and clean.
And the breakfast? Superb. The allure of a bed and breakfast is that it has a creative, scrumptious breakfast of the sort you’d never make for yourself. All too many BnBs have a run-of-the-mill breakfast. Not the Bottger. We delighted in their modified French toast, green chile sausage and mimosa. It was all terrific.
