The staff were super friendly and welcoming, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the atmosphere made it easy to meet other travelers. The location was also perfect—close to everything I needed.

There’s outlets for each bed which is perfect for a small portable fan. ##### Stella Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel Jun 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nathaniel was welcoming and friendly. :) Property location for Amtrak travelers can't be any better.

It was not like that at all. It was a varied group of people and everyone was very nice. Pancakes and coffee were a bonus ##### Angela Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laurie May 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great spot. Check in went smoothly, took a little tour, which was helpful. There were people relaxing outside the hostel and in the main lobby area as well. It was really noisy for a few minutes, but the manager quickly quieted things down. I would definitely stay here again. ##### Laurie Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Miguel Jul 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities I stayed at two other hostels, and this one was the best of all. The attendants were friendly, especially Rosie, and the guests were friendly. This place is set up to have conversations with others, which makes it nice, due to the large dining/hangout area. The place also has a relaxing patio with a modified short bus where you can also hang out inside and read a book or talk to others. The place also has planned activities every day, free of charge, which far surpassed my expectations. The beach is 4 minutes walking distance and so is a skate park. Great place! Will visit again. ##### Miguel Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alvina Feb 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The available parking for a small fee was very convenient.
