This is one of the worst places I ever stayed. I had to call when I arrived as I hadn't been emailed a code. The woman was incredibly rude and nasty. When I showered, it wouldn't drain. The sink made bizarre loud noises. It was very expensive for what it is but there are few choices in the area. Of yoh have to stay here

Only stay here as a last resort. Nobody is there to give you any information. We got there around 17:00 and our room had not been cleaned. We tried calling the posted number for help but nobody answered. Nobody ever responded Thankfully we ran into a staff member who cleaned the room after we arrived. After that though everything was fine, but it was very frustrating.

Property was average . Comfortable room & beds. Shared bathroom was not bad at all just right across our room & convenient. Location close to restaurants & gas stations. Only negative feedback 2 staff members were avoiding us in the lobby & eating area. Felt like it was rude behaviour. Overall will still recommend this hotel. Thank you!

Definitely recommend

This guesthouse was great! There isn’t a check in but you use the lobby phone for the code to get in the room. Works fine. They also answer other misc questions we had on this phone. Rooms are kind of small but big enough, bathroom is shared and there’s two in the hallway but I never saw anyone else. Clean, comfortable and in a great location. Good breakfast with just the right amount of choices. Good coffee. There is an excellent restaurant right across the street. We had a Mountain View with a waterfall.

Property was clean. Good/fast elevator. Key code access to the room is modern and worked well. Breakfast included was basic but decent variety and well attended by staff. Check-in was a bit uncertain since we did not receive a message from the host as we expected (yes, we checked junk mail). We called multiple times throughout the day of check-in to the number provided but no answer. So we changed our plans for the day (very inconvenient) to get to the hotel early right at the 4 pm start of check in. When we arrived we couldn't get in the door. But another guest let us in. We called the number again from the lobby without an answer. Fortunately, we located facilities staff that was able to get us the room and building access codes. Sounds travels easily through the walls. We had a family in the next unit that was up past midnight talking and laughing that kept us up. It felt like they were in the same room as us. All said, decent accommodation for the price (relative to other more expensive places on the peninsula). Check in should be more seemless.

The bathrooms lacked paper towels and the showers are TINY. The showers didn't drain and I stood in 4 inches of water. Otherwise, the staff at breakfast was very nice and the room was clean.
