My stay at the 1896 O'Malley House was a mixed bag. While I adored the charming location and Brent's warm hospitality, I did encounter a few issues that dampened my experience. The fresh breakfast each morning was good, yet the plumbing problems and unanticipated disturbances made it a bit challenging to fully relax during my visit.
