The worst guesthouse I've ever stayed in

A terrible experience overall, probably the worst guesthouse I've ever stayed in. What went wrong? No one at check in. Waited. Then someone showed up. Then sheer chaos. Room not ready. At nearly 6pm? Then I was downgraded into a room that was also dirty. It's always gross to find other people's hair everywhere. The handles of the narrow staircase were loose and a total hazard. No one there in the morning. I tried to call many times to get a voicemail to no reply. I messaged through Hotels.com and no reply. A terrible operation. Aside from the good AC, the place just sucked.

Great stay

I'm glad I went here. I arrived at the bus station and took the 8 bus and walked. The employees were friendly. It opened three months ago. It's like 23000 sq ft and a lot of stairs since I was on the 3rd floor. It came w breakfast. My mattress was comfy and they gave me a robe. I would go back, but with less luggage since the stairs are hard w luggage. It was $3 to use washer and dryer.

The owner met us at the desk and was 100% cordial. We talked about life gor a bit. His manager gave us the tour and made us feel comfortable. I'd much rather stay at an 1800s home that has been refurbished than any chain hotel/motel any time. We will stay here again. It's a fun vintage, Victorian style house that's near great food and much more.

If you're looking for the Ritz Carlton, this may not be for you, but if you want something charming clean and comfortable at a reasonable price I highly recommend staying here. For Bisons fans a resonable walk to the ballpark...10 - 15 minutes.

There wasn't much to eat in the morning when we came down. I also didn't realize the showers were not in the room but down the hall. Overall the beds were very comfortable and it was close to shops and restaurants so that was good.

All the employees were very welcoming. Far more than just doing their jobs. A short walk to restaurants, bars, and the theater district. Because of street parking only, it can be difficult to find parking during weekdays until 5 p.m. A large outdoor area, with a hot tub, was nice to sit and relax after a day of site seeing

Suggestions

Overall, I enjoyed my stay at the Guesthouse. The staff was friendly and helpful. My room was comfortable, however, I would like to make a couple of suggestions. 1.) I was confused on how to operate the air conditioner properly so my first night was uncomfortable (I eventually figured it out), 2.) I suggest moving the location of the soap dispenser in Room 200 - because the sink is so small I had difficulty brushing my teeth and spitting into the sink, 3.) please add more hooks to the rooms and the showers - hooks are good.
