I did not like the stay at this very old smelly hotel. Cats are running out of control like in New York City, The so called continental breakfast sucked. I was expecting a lot more than hard boiled eggs and nasty muffins. I would never stay here again.

Sorry you did not like it. I stayed there in mid May and have a couple of responses.There were lots of cats, but they are all outside cats. There was no cat smell in the house, and I have a very sensitive nose. Overall, it was a very clean and well run place. Yes it is an old hotel... that is its' charm. I personally thought the muffins were very good, I took about a dozen on the trail with me for snacks the next day. And the owner did tell me in advance that breakfast would be muffins. I will stay there on my next trip.

Please don't let the negative review above turn you away from the Globe. Jeanette was a great hostess. The place was spotless; the breakfast was perfect for our morning's ride and the extra muffins a pick-me-up when we needed it down the trail.

A negative review from Washington DeCeit is the best advertising one can get! Makes you want to stay there even if you live next door!

Well...I am not from Washington, DC...and I agree with the assessment. I don't care how many cats were outside...there were also cats inside...and it smelled like cats to me. Super, super nice lady...but wouldn't stay there again.

You don't know your own name, how can your opinion hold any value? You could simply be a competitor trying to do damage.

For those who have cat allergies, cats inside for a nights stay can be a deal breaker, not because they just don't like cats, but for their health. For some, being near cats or in confined spaces where they have been is very serious and not to be taken lightly. It is noteworthy for someone to point out the presence of cats in an establishment, whether they type a name in a box on a forum or not. How does an opinion like yours then hold any value, Doug? You could be part owner of Globe for all we know.

It is a common point in law that an accused be able to face their accuser. By posting anonymously that is eliminated. You obviously don't know much because Anyone that knows the slightest bit about the trail knows exactly who I am and what business I own on the trail. No one knows who you are or what interests you represent. I leave it for others reading this post to decide our relative values. I do not dispute cats being a deal breaker or that it is worth noting that there are cats at the Globe. I DO however dispute the manner is which it has been done here. Jeanette lets ALL that are coming to the Globe know in advance about her cats. If one stays there disregarding this notice it is their OWN responsibility and an unfair attack on her to criticize it after the fact. I rise to defend her as I feel you have chosen to defend the attacker in this case.

There is no website for the globe. How do people just know in advance of going there? Who's accusing anyone of anything? Court of law rules here now because you say so?

Where did Doug say that Court of Law rules here? He merely pointed the fairness of them out. Customers know in advance because, as Doug said, Jeanette TELLS people when they make their reservation! If You truly stayed there you know this to be so. The original poster made accusations concerning the smell and quality of the food. Your response does show the value of both your comments and Doug's. It has something to do with the "Courage of your convictions" All that Doug says can be attributed to him and all that you say you can hide from. Doug is defending a good woman and a hard worker that contributes to the trail. What is your contribution? Hatefulness?
