Amazing experience. I was going to arrive late at night. Couldn’t find a parking spot, so sent them a message. They responded at 11:30pm. Who does that these days!? I would 100% stay here again.

Nice set up from check in to check out. There’s definitely a respectful feel to the hostile. Fun to have pancakes on the weekend and a good basic breakfast all week long. I wasn’t able to score RAD a five because the introduction was really fast and I couldn’t retain all the info. Also, there’s a few idiosyncrasies that to me, are worth an explanation. They are: what to do if you return to the hostel and there’s no parking spots left. A little sign over the ice and water in the kitchen, explaining the start and stop button,would alleviate a lot of ice and water on the floor. Knowing ahead of time the washer and dryer costs. Letting newcomers to hostel life know that if there are two doors into the bathroom, they should lock both and then unlock both. Also that you would be best not to wake your bunk mates up for non-essentials. Receiving the reminder text about activities was helpful, having a variety of dairy and plant-based milks was a plus. The beds weren’t overly comfortable, but the comforter, duvet and pillow were lovely as were the pots of flowers. I would definitely stay here again and I wish the absolute best to the whole hard-working team. Thank you for providing a safe and clean home away from home.
