“Absolutely horrible experience, DO NOT stay here”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2007

We stayed at the McKibbon House Bed and Breakfast in Montevallo on our honeymoon. It was the worst mistake we could have possibly made in choosing this B&B. It is an old house that has been turned into a B&B by 2 sisters. The guest rooms are upstairs and it is extremely hot up there in the middle of July, when we got married. They kept the thermostat turned up so high, we were sweltering in our room the whole time we were there. The only relief we got from the heat was one afternoon when it rained.

They have a huge dog running freely all over the B&B all the time. The dog was constantly underfoot and I was afraid of falling down the stairs because of him every time we went to our room or left to go downstairs. The dog was always at the breakfast table every morning, sitting beside you begging for food. The food they served was not very impressive, either. For the price we paid, I expected a lot better.

The rooms are pretty rundown and they are not very clean, especially the bathrooms. There was a small and I mean SMALL balcony attached to our room. The slope of the balcony floor was going downhill and I was afraid of stepping out there, as it appeared to be a real safety hazzard.

There is also absolutely nothing to do in Montevallo. There are no restaurants, except for a couple of hamburger places and one small Chinese restaurant.

I was very disappointed with this B&B and will never go there again. I would not recommend you waste any money by visiting the McKibbon House B&B. You WILL be disappointed. I wish we had gone to Birmingham or Montgomery, instead of here. It was a total waste of time and money.

The McKibbon House was rated the "Best B&B in the Birmingham Area" by the Birmingham Magazine last year. As a member of the B & B Association of Alabama, it requires a yearly inspection. Our score of 100 (perfect score) was the first ever awarded to a B&B in Alabama. The McKibbon House guest book is filled with page after page of nothing but the highest complimentary comments. We offer wine and cheese served in the late afternoon. Early morning coffee is provided outside your room. A buffet breakfast of fresh fruit, eggs, bacon, potatoes and biscuits is the typical menu.

In 2000 The McKibbon House was fully restored and remodeled within the building codes and historical registry guidelines. The central heat and air thermastat is set at 72 degrees.

I have been the owner for the past two years and never have I had a complaint regarding structural soundness of the home or any remarks of run down and unclean rooms.

We are located in Montevallo, a small college town 35 minutes from Birmingham.

Sincerely,
Lyle Cunningham Lynn
Owner
