Happy Customer!

the place was exactly what i was expecting and i was super happy with the location, the staff, and the accommodations
About 6 blocks down and go left on Pacific Highway Right on Ash Left on Harbor
If you’re walking it will take like 15-20 minutes. You walk through Waterfront Park at The City Administration Building.
Shared kitchen to share meals with other guests
Free pancakes 7-9 and i saw eggs and bread out also.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Outside: Beautiful historic looking house. Loud neighborhood. Inside: Didn’t notice rooms downstairs, just the bathroom with tiny stalls. Most (all?) bedrooms were upstairs - definitely not accessible. Bedrooms were stuffy, even with window opened - no AC! Largest space is the kitchen - provided pancakes and eggs - you must cook and clean after yourself. Upside - you can go to grocery and cook your food? Would NOT recommend unless you can’t afford other places or rent the single bedroom, or go with enough people to rent out the entire room.

The chocolat chip pancakes peanut butter in the morning were a real treat. Old fashioned almost wild west decor. Nice hangout lounge. Good wifi. Bathroom facilities minimal. One night staff member seemed to have personal problems, made me uncomfortable. Daytime staff friendly and helpful. Excellent location.

Not for us

The room was fine. Bathroom ok. Loud Loud Drinking game going on for hours starting at 5pm with lots of Loud Profanity. Impossible to sleep. Bathroom door needs oil! Squeaked all night with people going in and out. Check in/checkout people couldn't advise on parking info.

Good location and staff was friendly enough. But buildings and furnishings are in need of serious repair, renovation and cleaning. Shower by our room was out of service. Curtain in the shower downstairs was riddled with mold and mildew. Outside furniture too dirty to sit on. Filter on room air conditioner was covered with what had to be years of dust and dirt. Key cards consistently malfunctioned for most of our stay. Did not provide all amenities advertised. Supposedly smoking not allowed inside, but that apparently does not apply to weed.
