While we enjoyed our stay at Pirate Haus Inn, we marked it a 3 for cleanliness. There were tiny ants throughout the room, and I awoke to a huge roach crawling on the headboard just above my head. Another thing to add is that I was unwilling to touch the alarm clock until I thoroughly cleaned it with Clorox wipes, it appeared to never have been wiped down. The floor around the beds also were due for a good cleaning, being painted wood it hid some of the dirt, but a quick wipe turned the wipe black, ick. On a positive note, my kids loved it, especially the maps in our room, and the toys in the playroom. The location was great, just off St. George Street near the cathedral, giving easy access to the entire historic district. The atmosphere was well done and carried throughout. The artwork on the walls was nicely done, and added to the feel of the whole place.

My apologies that your stay was not better. I don't think there is a lot we can do about the sugar ants. I've been trying different chemicals but it works for a day or two then they are back. What works best is to seal every crack where they can come in, but with a building built in 1915, that is nigh impossible (the windows with the counterweights don't fit nearly so well in their tracks as modern windows do). Roaches on the other hand is something we can try to combat, however I am leery of spraying the same poison in a room month after month i wish you had mentioned it while you were here though. Again, sorry it did not live up to your expectations.
