My first time at a hostel and it wont be my last. Staff was friendly and explained the rules and where everything was. Hostels are "self serve" and they had great accommodations and amenities. I booked an 18 bed dorm by accident but rolled with it. Everyone respected everyone's space. Room and bathrooms were very clean.
This was my first time staying at a hostel. The staff was super friendly and made me feel right in! Check in and check out was super quick and easy.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The front desk staff was absolutely wonderful and helpful. Overall, the facility was nice. Only negative was that the bed was very worn, old, and uncomfortable. The fitted bed sheets was also old worn, and the elastic was so old that it was not able to stay on the bed
This hostel has everything anyone could ask for while traveling away from home. & close enough to stores and public transportation to go find what you need if you require more. Filtered water is on the premise, area to relax and possibly work, and also a tv on the dorm side is nice for football & basketball games. Highly recommend!
Everyone at the front desk and all staff were super cool. Easy check-in, great policy for leaving bags before or after check-in, and overall cool vibe.
Good space. Surprised we can’t play music in common space in the morning until 10am. Smell in the bedroom - unclear if from other guests or from vent/building.
