A week stay
Overall I had a decent stay. The best thing about the hotel is the staff. These guys are so wonderful, I almost even want to forget the issues I had but it’s important to state that for others. I booked a private room at this hostel and $50/ night through Hotels.com. When I got to me room, I was pretty shocked. It wasn’t what the pictures showed, oh, and the room was 3 twin mattresses on the floor. Not bed frame, no table chair. It did have a private bath. There was no way this room should have cost $50/night. They had no other room available and it was late at night, i had no other choice but to stay. The receptionist (Cami) felt so bad for me that after 2 nights she moved me to a much better room which was actually only $40/night. I spent 2 days in this extremely awful room ( which wasn’t what was advertised) and paid more. I hoped i will get refunded but the owner said, they pay $10 as a commission to hotels.com so no refund. I was provided $15 credit though, which is nothing. Its not a young professional type environment. Your average crowd is probably 18- 27 yrs old. Overall, I was fine but this whole advertising incorrect room and asking guests to sleep on the floor at $50 a night sounds shady. I don’t like this at all. Is this even legal? Lol, can a hotel rent private rooms without a bedframe? That’s weird. In all mu travels ive been to all sorts of hotels, but not something like this. They had a small closet thats about to fall off. #206, dont take it. Its awful.

A Very Model of a Modern Major General Hostel
This hostel / hotel is the model every hostel / hotel should follow. Every aspect of service, amenities,safety, cleanliness, social areas vs quiet spaces, modern design is at its peak here at the Croc. The staff are warm, generous and exceedingly helpful. They make you feel at home. The ambience is welcoming, comfortable, modern and clean. It feels like home. The rooms are quiet, clean, warm, and have plenty of outlets to plug into, comfy beds and nice lighting. They offer tons of activities. Great restaurant, too. The owners of the Croc have clearly spent time traveling because they have addressed every issue a traveler faces when on the road.
