| Unable to get lock on parking lock open, the code did not work, before 6:30AM. I attempted to leave early at 5:30AM. much frustration attempting the code on the locks, then after 45 minutes to find someone who could unlock the gate and let me drive out.
Otherwise Great staff and facility. | ||

| I appreciate the location for it's access to San Pedro cultural sites, such as the Cabrillo Marine Museum and the port of LA's Maritime Museum. The staff was great; the accommodations as good as any HI I've stayed. There's no concern about security from the outside; the staff were cool in a good way. | ||

| Improved wifi would be appreciated. Even in the kitchen area the speed was sad and getting a connection in the dorms was futile. | ||
