“The Bygone presents a conundrum. While some find its comforts and kind staff a welcome respite, others have reported disappointments regarding amenities and maintenance. I find the concept intriguing, but potential guests should inquire about current conditions to ensure expectations align with reality. It appears that its charm hinges on the timing of one's visit.”
