We're sorry the guest was disappointed, and we appreciate her input. Sometimes things just seem to all happen at once. We're very sorry that the hand sanitizer on the front hall table was out, and that the housekeeper somehow overlooked it. Hand sanitizer is also available in all guest rooms. Our Coffee Service Company came out first thing that Monday morning with a replacement coffee maker (most guests rooms also have in-room Keurigs), and the coffee and cream delivery (first time we've ever run out in eight years of supplying Keurig coffees, an anomaly). Our carpet installer had required that open fireplaces in three rooms to be carpeted be blocked off before carpet installation. Blocked-off fireplaces are commonplace in Maine. These three fireplaces were blocked off with wallpapered sheetrock, not with cardboard cutouts. The guests' booked room was a small queen-bedded room, normally well lit by a large table lamp which we learned had been broken. We upgraded these guests to the king-bedded master bedroom with larger bath for two nights, and to another king bedded room with larger bath at no cost for the third night. We thank them for staying and commenting.
