The guest house itself was nice. The room was comfortable and well-appointed. The library sitting area was comfy & cozy. However, the check-in process was not very welcoming, just a run down of what we were not to do. Breakfast the next day was a much warmer experience though so perhaps just an “off” night. Breakfast was very good.
The lower rating is due mostly to location. Based on other reviews, we expected quaint little shops & restaurants in a historic area where we could walk around & relax. The area in reality has a few shops but only a couple we cared to even enter, smoke shops, tattoo parlors, some restaurants but none that tempted us, bars in windows of many nearby buildings, and a high population of homeless people. It was nothing like what we expected based on reading & reviews.
The location is very close to many great outdoor activities however. So if you aren’t interested in poking around, it is ok.
