Last night we stayed at Eric & Aileen's as they were hosting an end of the world BBQ. Upon entering their place, i was immediately handed a delicious cheeseburger, which was followed by a wide assortment of cheezies, salads, meat sticks, and sausage. Aileen was constantly making sure that everyone's drink was topped up. After many drinks and some hilarious conversation, we retired to the guest suit for some rest. I was only expecting a mint on my pillow, but was delightfully surprised with a chocolate covered After Eight mint. In the morning, we were treated to large quantities of bacon and eggs.
While most of the evening was fantastic, as this is a review some of the following was also encountered. The room temperature in the guest suit was a bit on the warm side... a fan was not offered. Also, a train travelled close by at about 9am... this should have been either rerouted or postponed until a later hour. I also had to make my own tea... true the water came pre-boiled, but the sugar and milk had to be added manually. Finally, the cable package of the household is only basic... and while i did enjoy watching the 10 biggest blunders on the NFL channel, it would have been nice to see a wider selection of channels.
Despite the above complaints, it was a great night, and i'm forced to give Eric & Aileen a ***1/2 rating. It would have been a four star, but the guest bed is a bit small and as it was a hot night, was difficult to spread out. Thanks for a very nice experience. I recommend staying overnight at Eric and Aileen's to all who might find themselves in the nearby area.
