RVA Journalist

Part of the RVA Journalist “BedandBreakfast” series

At work, we’ve discussed the perils of other inns — a horse dying while towing a carriage full of guests and catching a groom and the mother of the bride “swimming together” in a pool — but the case of the smelly tub was something we didn’t expect for our own lodge.

A couple was very displeased the other day to find that the gorgeous claw-footed tub in the nicest of our rooms was omitting a foul stench from the drain. The problem was fixed as soon as it was brought to our attention and several gifts and generous discounts were given, but one can only wonder what causes a hundred-year-old home to do things such as this.
