Jackie was amazing! Even gave me a parallel parking lesson. I will say the shower was a little dirty and parking is very limited, but otherwise very pleasant place!

1st time staying in a Hostel place. Like the experience of uniqueness of it. The style of the place is like a rustic cabin/lodge. Improvements could be a more parking spaces and an AC unit/system.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Multiple people staying in the same room, people coming in and out until 2am in the morning, slamming the door back and forth, entering the code, no respect for other people sleep, then once everyone is in bed, they start snoring and farting, I never stayed in a hotel before I probably wouldn’t ever stay again. Breakfast was extremely limited and I had one egg and a banana. Please is a joke, bathroom toilet did not work and water kept running, so while the bathroom needed to be cleaned or toilet fix the lady is folding sheets, care case of these people do not know what they are doing. After giving a bad review, you get these threatening emails from their staff? Very unprofessional behavior, pay a little more for privacy and a better property. Sunrise was nice outside, except the hippy stoner smoking weed in the front. If you want a crowded smelly, stranger danger stay, this is the place for you. The Chinese Covirent store down the street will also rip you off if you use a credit card. I do not recommend. Also the mattress are super soft and no back support, they use the cheapest material that they could find, also my sheets were dirty with someone long silver hairs.
