The management was great. The dorm that I was in was clean and spacious. I felt the Lounge very cozy and welcoming as I walked through the door. The lounge has a little kitchen, eating area, a restroom, an area and desk for a computer, a smaller comfy couch, and has a TV. In the backyard there are plenty of places to sit, a tightrope, hammocks, grills, a big fire pit for s'mores, roasting hot dogs. Just to name a few things.

This is a hostel and I didn't understand or pay attention when booking. I needed a cheap stay for the night and I was pleasantly surprised. Julian was so helpful in explaining how this hostel works. If I stayed longer I am sure I would have met some very interesting people. The rooms was small but clean. Hot water, AC works and it was quiet. Enough for a good night's sleep. In the morning I made my own breakfast (it's a hostel) that fueled me for my trip to Estes park.

These people really do go above and beyond to keep you comfortable when you stay there. Even though you do share the room space it was just fine. During my stay the people in my room were extremely considerate of others. Meaning, having a flashlight when you enter rather than turning on the overhead light and waking everybody up. Would highly recommend this hotel.
