A highly recommended place!

The hostel is very nice. Spacious rooms with private bathrooms and comfortable beds. They serve breakfast and offer various activities. The only downside is that you need your own transportation because it's a bit far from everything.

One of the nicest hostels ive stayed in. The vibes are immaculate. Quiet clean rooms, the remote check in was perfect for us needing to roll in at 1am, my only complaint is that its a little dusty and tough on any allergies, but otherwise our night was awesome.

Be aware before booking.

I would recommend staying at this hostel for one night, but not more than that. As expected for a hostel, the rooms are quite small, which wasn't a big issue, but the security is a concern. While there's a smart lock on the outside of the room, there's no lock on the inside. This means if someone knows the lock code, they can quietly enter your room at night, and I'm not sure how often they change the lock codes for added security. Additionally, parking is very limited. If you’re planning to stay, make sure you arrive by the evening, otherwise, you’ll struggle to find a spot. We ended up parking at a neighbor's property due to the lack of available space.

I've never stayed in a Hostel before, so I was a little nervous about what to expect. This was a great choice for my first! Staff was friendly and helpful, I got a quick tour on arrival and was granted the loan of a towel and facecloth. The room was spotless. My bed was equipped with a reading light, outlet, reasonably comfy pillow, and a duvet. The duvet was honestly the only downside, that's a winter blanket and it was 90 degrees for most of my stay. The AC worked great, the biggest upside to being top bunk was the AC in room 4 is basically on top of the far top bunk so my space was cold with it on. Water pressure is great, breakfast provided was cereal and fruit but there's plenty of space to make yourself something if that doesn't suit. My roommates were very polite and considerate and honestly I have no complaints.

Excellent hostel experience

This is a wonderful hostel , but can Be utilized as a hotel. You can have a shared room, which is the hostel experience, or you can rent your own room with your own private bathroom. I really was surprised, but happy with the nightly festivities that were offered. They have a very nice backyard where they do gatherings with s’mores, as well as jaunts Into the city. I needed a base for my daily explorations so this was perfect.

First time staying at a hostel and don't know if there is any other way I want to travel now. From the beginning when Maggie checked me in, I had great service and was surprised with how clean the facilities were. Throughout my stay I met the manager, various volunteers, and the owner- all of whom were very polite, great to chat with, and went out of their way to make my stay as pleasant as possible. There were activities on some of the evenings of my stay, which started at 7pm and ended by 9pm. I was only able to attend the s'mores night on Friday, where I met other guests and had a great time.

Cool concept bad part of town

It's a nice unique little place in a really bad part of town. Unfortunately there is a lot of street racing going on just 30 yrs from where I was sleeping. (Corner closest to the street). We had 2 issues with people coming up to us at our visit that were from the trailer homes behind the establishment they came through the fence. The people that stayed here were all really cool and down to earth. I would recommend but be guarded with the people coming though the fence.

The hostel was very much a hostel, which is a plus! The staff were friendly and provided a welcoming atmosphere. There was plenty of space to just exist in public. I was able to both work quietly and also socialize depending on where I was at in my day without issues. The private rooms are reasonably quiet, and a great deal if you’re looking to have a private, clean space during your travels.
