AC did not work but that did not really matter because of the time of year. Staff was friendly. You can walk everywhere the hill back up was a little climb but if it's too much, just take the local Ride Circuit.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It was funky and fun location. However, there was extreme pot smells as well as other smells all night. The shower was gross and barely usable. Beds were fine. Kitchen was fine but we didn’t cook in it. There is a nice shared patio in the front.
