Our stay was just sort of fine for our purposes- one night, just needed somewhere to sleep and shower.
However there are definitely some over promises/exaggerations in the listing. It’s not walking distance to downtown for one- we learned the hard way and walked the 2+ miles along Highway 1 to dinner, which doesn’t have a sidewalk or safe place to actually walk (we walked on the shoulder). It was nerve racking. And there’s no Uber or Lyft in HMB.
Also you can hear a lot of activity from the main house- through both the connecting door in the living area of the unit (we could hear full, clear conversations) and through the floors from upstairs (lots of loud banging and such in the morning- drawers slamming, etc). So it made my friend and I feel like we had to whisper to each other to have some privacy. The listing states that you will hear some noise but that it’s no more than you would hear in a hotel, which is definitely untrue- it is much louder than in any hotel I’ve ever stayed in. And be aware there are lots of little rules that are posted around the unit- for example, there’s a defect with the shower so you have to point the shower head toward the wall or it will cause puddles in the bathroom apparently. And then there are signs warning you not to create puddles— maybe get the defective shower fixed?
If you have someone staying on the sofa bed (which you would have to do unless you’re a couple- the main bed seems like more of a Full and not a Queen), know that there is a window in the living area that has no curtains. It’s a bit higher up on the wall, but still unnerving.
Lastly, the main “Queen” bed in the bedroom is very very very firm. I haven’t ever slept on a mattress that hard. It also makes a good amount of noise if you toss and turn in your sleep.
Again, it was fine for a night but I wouldn’t recommend a longer stay here. And just know what you’re getting in to.
