The Vistula Rose B & B

Property has character, beautifully done. While still more to complete the picture, just being on the property takes you back in time. Very comfortable stay.

A historic mansion incredibly well restored and filled with beautiful antiques, many of them in the Eastlake style true to the era of the house. Large spacious rooms with everything we needed, including very clean, modernized, yet unique bathrooms. A place you can really relax and make yourself at home. Convenient off-road parking; and a wonderful breakfast to start your day. Truly a great value!

Though the location is safe, it “feels” a bit sketchy; and the exterior is still a work in progress.

This review is for Patrick, the host, as much as the place itself. Both were exceptional. The B & B is located in the historic downtown district of Toledo. The area in two directions seemed perfectly safe and interesting; in one direction, it seemed slightly less safe. The house itself is stunning. A renovated Victorian mansion with three floors, a widow's watch, and each room lovingly decorated in the style of the day. My parents have some antique Victorian furniture, so seeing familiar pieces and lots of variety was fun and made me feel immediately at home. The rooms were all unique, with their own special names (we stayed in the Worthington), and extremely comfortable. I was a little worried about sharing a bed with a friend, especially before a marathon (the reason we were in town), but the quality of the mattresses made it 0 issues. I don't know where to stop with what I liked. I loved the sitting areas and the feeling of being in a home rather than a hotel, the Keurig right outside the room made it easy to prepare tea or coffee at any time of day or night without bothering a roommate, anthe lighting of the place is wonderful... parking was no issue, the trees and flowers outside were in bloom, bringing joy as well, having breakfast with the other guests and getting into conversations... Now, Patrick. I imagine the B & B could be successful without him, because it is such a beautiful place, convenient, and great value, but he made the stay what it was. Attentive and generous with time, he took us on a tour of the whole place, even the 3rd floor (that still needs to be renovated, giving us an idea of how much work had been put into the place!). He is an excellent conversationalist (so many great stories of things he's done!), local guide (gave us the best recommendations of things to do while there) and cook. He went out of his way to make sure my friend and I had breakfast when we came back from our marathon...

You need coasters! :-) Honestly, though, nothing I didn't like. Any little quirk belonged to the charm of the place.

Breakfast and host, Patrick, were excellent.

Location is not the greatest.

Innkeeper and the bed and breakfast was fabulous!

Surrounding area isn't the most appealing, but it's a small matter.

Beautiful, historic, and Patrick was great!!

Was not a king size bed.

So much history in that property ! Loved that we stayed in such unique place in Toledo

The boiler / pipes kept me awake with the noise during the night 🙃

The inn keeper Patrick was full of knowledge about the property and surrounding area. We couldn’t say more nice things the property. It is a beautiful building and each room was more interesting than the next.

You just have to be prepared for the surrounding area. It has some rough patches but, it didn’t affect our stay and we never felt unsafe. Minus that, we absolutely love the area. I had never been in Toledo, and can’t wait to come back to visit.
