点评:As others have mentioned - DO NOT BOTHER to go the Marble House. Not only is it under construction, but they are filming a TV show, so they have either blocked off rooms completely or some of the rooms are in disarray and not viewable through the mess they created. I contacted the Preservation Society of Newport and this is what happened:
They claimed it was preservation construction and listed on the website - NOT TRUE. This is not just for preservation, this is also because they are allowing TV crews to use the property. I responded that NOTHING ON THEIR WEBSITE indicated any construction or filming. They ignored my response.
When I followed up more than a week later, they said "thanks for the feedback". They did not apologize or offer to compensate. We spent $100 on a "tour" that was missing so much. Had we been informed, we could have visited another mansion. They should lower their entrance fees and reimburse those who were not made aware.
It is surprising and shameful to be treated this way by a non-profit. I am considering filing a complaint with the RI AGs office.
翻译:正如其他人提到的——千万别去大理石屋。它不仅在施工,而且还在拍摄电视节目,所以要么房间完全封闭,要么有些房间乱得一塌糊涂,根本看不清。我联系了纽波特文物保护协会,结果如下:
他们声称这是文物保护施工,并在网站上有说明——根本不是!这不仅仅是文物保护施工,还因为他们允许电视台摄制组使用这处房产。我回复说,他们的网站上没有任何关于施工或拍摄的信息。他们无视了我的回复。
一周多后,我再次联系他们,他们只是回复说“谢谢你的反馈”。他们既没有道歉,也没有提出任何补偿。我们花了100美元参加了一个“参观”,结果却错过了很多东西。如果他们事先告知,我们完全可以去参观其他的豪宅。他们应该降低门票价格,并补偿那些不知情的游客。
一个非营利组织竟然这样对待游客,真是令人震惊和羞耻。我正在考虑向罗德岛州总检察长办公室提出投诉。
