Type Conversion error in 'Guess my number' game

I am writing code in Python 3 for the 'Guess my Number' game. In this version however, the computer has to guess a number that user has kept secret. I am new to Python and programming in general and would appreciate a bit of help. I am getting an error that relates to type conversion. Here is the error:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Documents\python\GuessMyNumberComputer.py", line 16, in <module>
    response = input("Is the number" +guess +"? \n Press (y - yes, l - go lower, h - go higher)")
**TypeError: Can't convert 'int' object to str implicitly**

And here is my code:

 import random

print("\t\t\t Guess My Number")
input("Think of a number between 1 and 100 and I will try to guess it. \nPress enter when you have thought of your number and are ready to begin.")
a = 1
b = 100
tries = 0

while 1==1:
    guess = random.randint(a,b)
    response = input("Is the number" +guess +"? \n Press (y - yes, l - go lower, h - go higher)")
    tries += 1
    if response == y:
        break

    elif response == l:
        b = response-1

    elif response == h:
        a = response+1


print("Aha! I guessed it! And it only took",tries,"tries!")
input("Press enter to exit.")

Could someone help me with this error? Could you also point me to some links on the web so I can read up on this as my book seems not to cover this area.

Thanks.

The other answers have already addressed your TypeError, so I'll add something for you to read:

You should use format() when constructing strings from different types. It makes your intentions clearer.

response = input('Is the number {}? \n Press...'.format(guess))

Just pass the int to the str() constructor to convert it to a string. So here's the new line:

response = input("Is the number" + str(guess) +"? \n Press (y - yes, l - go lower, h - go higher)")
