Delano Bed and Breakfast

Disappointing
Traveller Type:
  : This was a beautiful old house in a great area near downtown Wichita.The hosts were proud of their house and liked to talk about it.Check in and communication with the host was was very easy .
  : The property didnt really seem ready for us. The common areas were very dusty and cluttered. We had to hunt for necessary items like towels. None of the touted outdoor areas were ready for guests. The chairs and cushions were all stacked against the tables, the fire pit looked unavailable, and the porch area was in the process of being decorated with flags and such strewn about. The breakfast seemed like we got whatever was leftover from a previous hosting-4 plastic tubs of plain yogurt, 3 stale, filled croissants, one muffin and a bowl of tangerines with a few apples. They did provide a small pitcher of orange juice. They left 2 not full carafes of coffee. The 4 of us were able to have Just about one and a half cups of coffee each. The hosts seemed to want to be with us way too much. We all felt a little awkward that they did not pick up on our cues.There are so many possibilities with this property. We really wanted that wonderful bed and breakfast feeling, but unfortunately, we were very disappointed. We felt kind of like they just forgot we were coming. I wouldnt recommend a stay here.

  : Nice house with a good story to it. Hosts were great!
  : The neighborhood is okay, not special. Not too close to sights of Witchita.

  : The things that stood out the most from this place were the owners/hosts, Sherry & Keith, the amazing breakfasts, and - last but not least - Dozer the dog. The place is close to a lot of activities that we didn't have time to check out and the house/yard is perfect for a weekend getaway. But again, Sherry as hostess made everything worthwhile. There was a personal touch you just don't get from a traditional chain hotel. If you are not a fan of conversation and just want to sleep somewhere and then move along, this is not for you. This place is for those who want to feel like you are guests or family members, not just customers. Oh, and did I mention Dozer? The official greeter and receiver of belly rubs.
  : The bed was older and creaked loudly whenever you moved. It probably doesn't help that I'm a bit above the average weight class. But it was comfortable. Just loud. Speaking of loud, the first night was really quiet but the second night a last minute booking came and they didn't quite grasp the concept of "shared space". I was woken up several times by conversations. This is not the fault of Sherry or Keith, but it is worth noting if the other guests aren't polite you will hear them.
