    The room was very hot during the day and while there was full kitchen access there is very little in the way of dishes or cooking utensils.

    The host was a very decent and understanding man who was willing to work with you and help you where he could. I appreciate his patience and understanding.

    It was just a room.no breakfast but the owner was very nice and for the money I couldn't expect anything more to be honest. Thank you very much for hosting us.

    They changed location at the last minute, and we stayed in Lakewood, not at Lakehouse. It was not really clean, and the door was wide open when we got there at night, and when we left in the morning, i booked because it was cheap but it cost me more in the long run. Also, we had no key to our room, we didn't feel safe

    We didn't like it at all, it was a bit creepy and didn't feel safe to us. We booked another place the next night even though we already paid☹️

    The bed was not very comfortable but that's really the only thing I didn't like

    The room was clean, and wifi and streaming services were provided. Mostly quiet. Spacious room. It is very easy to get ahold of staff, which is very much appreciated! Overall great stay for the value.

    This is a rooming house not an ABNB or VERBO style place. Though clean it’s basic

    NO KEY or pin pad lock TO YOUR ROOM so your belongs arnt secured. There was no towels, toilet paper, internet, kitchen utensils or free laundry. Room smelled funny like musty arm pit, fridge and microwave were dirty. Charged a cleaning fee for each night even though there isn’t someone cleaning each day. I have stayed in rooming houses before and while this was clean and I would stay again if I was in a pinch. DO NOT expect ABNB or VERBO amenities (your get what you pay for) Although no key to room I didn’t feel unsafe. Having to take off ur shoes at the door, bathtub didn’t drain.

    I stayed here 2 nights while awaiting approval to move into my new home. The owner was very responsive and property was clean. Secure parking and quiet even though other guest. Large room, close to everything, grocery store, restaurants and freeway access all less than a min away. Mall and additional restaurants about 5 Mins. JLMB 10-15 mins. Cheap price.

    Everything! The main issue was that there was nothing in the listing about it being a share situation. Everything was shared except the bedroom and bathroom. The shared area was very messy, stuff everywhere- including many empty bottles of alcohol (which made me uncomfortable) as the person was a stranger. The booking was for 2 people but only one towel was supplied. There was no topsheet on the bed just a blanket.The pictures on the listing did not match the disaster we walked into. Stay away! we couldn't get out fast enough!

    Nothing!

    Everything. I hate this property: 10309 hipkins road southwest, Lakewood, Washington 98498.

    This property never existed. The owner sent me to an unsafe location, different house with a lot of people, 1 kitchen for more than 10 people. I had to cancel my stays. I only stayed there 4 nights. He is a scammer.

    The host never asked if we needed anything such as towels, He would not even wash the sheets that were on the bed.. he informed me that there was a washer and dryer that was 6$ and 1$. He also charged for a cleaning fee but nothing ever got cleaned.. I had 2 outside entrances in my room the led to the backyard where our car was parked and I was told that I couldn't use them I was told I couldn't utilize the whole house. I was told to sleep and that was it.. AND all 4 of my tired were slashed on his property and he literally told me I had to move my car

    I had a big room
