Honestly we were quite happy with our weekend when we went to check out, and otherwise would have given a five star rating.
The issue came from the fact that we purchased a parking pass from our host and then our host came out to detail where the pass was supposed to go. What the host didn’t state was that the pass always went on the drivers side. So we put the pass road side (which happened to be passenger side on the one way street) thinking that would make it the most easily visible, but left with a ticket for just shy of $100.
The hard thing about this is that the host (which admittedly is just an employee at the hostel) went outside with me to do the tour and saw me place the pass (as he was explaining where the pass went) but said nothing about it needing to go on the opposite side.
Then in subsequent emails management said “...you found an uptight parking enforcer...” and we would need to just pay the ticket. Which is fair and we did, but I can’t help but to have had a negative experience after the ticket situation. Even though before finding the ticket I would have said that the place matched the description and was worth the cost. But it was definitely not worth the $100 extra I ended up paying for the stay. And I guess it is to be expected for the “host” (employee at the desk that day) to not be as committed to the customers as a host that does it all solo, but the customer service is definitely something that is left to be desired.
