Perect I was amazed how well organized… Better than some hotels I almost booked the second night, but I wanted a pool so that’s the only reason I left. This place has everything covered for you super informative plenty of amenities. I’m still in shock. I’ve stayed in several hospitals and other countries. This has been the best.

It was by far one of the cleanest and nicest Hostel experiences that I’ve had in years. The individual beds each has there own privacy curtains, adjustable neck reading lights, overhead storage cubbies right above where you lay your head with outlets there to charge your phone/tablets, etc. Plus the in room storage lockers with hotel card key locks for each bed was very welcomed and unlike any other hostel I’ve been to over the past few years. Plus the included morning breakfast and nice open kitchen layout was pleasant and the simple, but adequate continental style breakfast offering was well executed and cleanly put out. Including having all you want coffee which was exceptionally good, evening being on par if not better than many local cafes that I had gone to in the area!
