You get what you pay for.

The Guest House is cheap and in an amazing location. You are paying for those. The elevator is broken and I had a 50lb suitcase to lug up 4 stories. Not enough towels and no soap or shampoo upon arrival. We had to walk down to front desk after it was obvious they weren't going to bring it up. Good location, no bedbugs. Seagulls and people talking in the courtyard are super loud. If you want more comfort, pay 20-40 bucks per night somewhere else.

I didn’t stay because there was no parking available. Several people walking around looking into vehicles and no active security. The front desk staff was very nice, but I was not comfortable parking where they suggested as a last resort but there was a No Parking sign and vehicle would be towed. I walked around the hotel looking for parking but I saw different people looking into vehicles. When the front desk guy walked with me t look for parking, a visitor waking her dog also said she saw people walking around peering into many cars. She said that people would just break in a steal stuff. I WAS NOT comfortable at all. So I lest and because it was after 11 pm, need up just parking in a business and sleeping in my truck.
