Erin, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

I didn't know that the room was on the 4th floor and there was no elevator. For me, who doesn't have a good knee, the 4th floor without an elevator was a little painful, so I wanted to know in advance if possible. I'm going to take this opportunity to be careful. Also, the edge of the bed frame was covered with dust. Then, the couple in the next room came back at 1:30 a.m. while talking normally, and it was annoying for a while.

Landon, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice clean hostel. The street around is a little sketchy, but the facility feels safe and I felt good with a gated entrance to the upper floors and double locks on my doors. The free meals and drinks are nice additions, and I appreciated that we were able to check in early and keep our bags in the storage once we’d checked out.
Arlyn, 1-night trip

I loved the communal aspects of this inn. The kitchen and dining areas, as well as the shared meals, were very effective at bringing people together.
