This place is a homeless shelter representing itself as a bed and breakfast. I was put in a dorm with men that are obviously homeless with homeless behavior of entitlement, territorial and violence. I was awaken out my sleep twice by one of these guys claiming was talking in my sleep and told I had to go somewhere else. He threatened me with violence. Had he done so I would have sued Travelocity into the millions for having this place on your list of sites and I would have sued this place out of business!!!!!!!

Never stay at a hostel

One of the worst places I've ever been. I understant staying in a shared room wouldn't be the most comfortable but I didn't expect the conditions to be so bad. No soap to wash your hands in the bathroom. The worst part of it were the RATS in the kitchen. I couldn't even stand to drink a bottle of water in that kitchen. Completely unsanitary. The only good thing about this place is the staff.

Cool place with some chill staff. No hassles.

Pros: Everyone treats you like family.
Cons: More staff.
Location: Great neighborhood. Not cheap but you definitely get what you paid for.
Checked in and paid for my room. Front desk was a little hard to reach but other than that it wen't pretty smoothly.
