I'll start with the good. The place is clean. It is accurate to the photos uploaded. And the bed is comfortable.
That's where it ends.
I understand that the host does not live on property. But there has to be some level of management still provided for the guests. When I booked, I booked Room 1. When I walked upstairs and opened the door to Room 1, there were people already in the bed with their baggage unpacked. I ended up having to take another room. Not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things but certainly not a comfortable experience for me and definitely made me wonder if I had paid more for a lesser room or not. Then I had the most unfortunate night. The other guests were up till 5 AM talking loudly, playing music loudly. It's uncomfortable to make it the paying guest's responsibility to remind other guests on common courtesy. As a host that lives off-site, I understand there are limitations to what you can and cannot do. But if I cannot get the room I booked and a night's sleep without listening to people hollering it up downstairs, then something certainly needs to change. And all of my points above stand regardless of anything else but I particularly was staying here for the SD Half Marathon. Suffice it to say, I was at the start line without one blink of sleep. Maybe this place is a roll of the dice kind of place, depending on who your other guestmates are. But if that's the case, I'd rather go somewhere else where I can find a more sure thing.
