We have stayed at the Clifton house several times, but have never slept in the observatory. We booked this room for our 27th anniversary. We arrived in town early and could not get into our room due to it being cleaned. When we finally got into the room we noticed the entire seating area by the front window was covered with dead wasps and yellow jackets. Some were still alive. On further inspection we noticed the wasps in every area of the room which is rather large. We called in and were moved to the Audubon room. We received a call from Marla who was very friendly. We do love the Clifton house however we're disappointed that the breakfast was not included with the room anymore. I think new management needs to step it up.

Your website does need to include a warning to people staying in the observatory suite. The stairs are quite steep and poorly lit! There is a threshold at the door that we nearly tripped on every time we went up or down the stairs. A rather hazardous situation! Not a good room for older folks…
