Room #8 was okay. A bit small, but livable. Biggest issue was that the head of the bed is directly underneath a window that faces the freeway. Bring earplugs and you'll be fine. Also, water pressure in the shower left a lot to be desired. But it was clean, private, and provided all the amenities I could need.

Disliked: Amenities
The place did its job. But I was negatively surprised with the room. It was super small and had 2 bunker beds only. It was so small that it barely fits two people standing. Whatever I had to do, I needed to go to out to the bathroom which was very inconvenient. But the worst part was that I was assigned the upper bed and there was no power outlets anywhere. The only few power outlets available were on the lower bed and they were being used already and based on what I heard from other people staying in other rooms, this wasn't a problem only in my room. I got there at 9pm the first after a long day. All my devices were almost dead and I couldn't charge them in the room. I had to go out of the room to the common area and be there for more than 1 hour while my devices were charging. I was almost falling asleep. This was really inconvenient and I think it could be fixed. I dont think I'd stay there again.

Liked: Cleanliness
This was a well-priced place and I was impressed with the cleanliness of the bathrooms but totally disappointed with my bed. I was on the top bunk which was too close to the ceiling, had a broken exposed window next to it, and a ladder which didn’t have enough steps up spaced properly. There was also nowhere inside to sit down because the place was designed with only rooms and bathrooms. The girl in my room had claimed the only two chairs and desk in the room which left me with zero space. The outdoor seats were wet, plus no one wants to sit outside overnight. I’ve stayed in hostels all over the world, but this one was needing drastic improvements. On a positive note, they’d thought a lot about security, which was good. They need to improve the sleeping conditions as well as provide an inside space where people can sit and work.

I had such a great experience at this hostel! The staff were super friendly and made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The rooms and bathrooms were clean and well-kept, and the common area had a really chill vibe—perfect for meeting other travelers. The location was also ideal, close to everything but still quiet enough to relax. The atmosphere felt safe, social, and comfortable. I’ll definitely stay here again next time I’m in town!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I stayed in a private room and it fit my needs for the length of my stay. I didn’t love that there were no windows in the room I was in and no outlets that I could see in the room. Also, there was a very thin, unlockable sliding door between the room I was in and another room. The noise from that persons device, or maybe tv, whatever it was, it carried so well to the point that we may as well have been in the same room. That wasn’t enjoyable. I appreciated the expansive porch and the various plants. I’d stay again if I were in the area but would request a different private room.
