"Overall a good experience. We only did an overnight but enjoyed the breakfast. The room was nice, and the staff were great! "

"Ilina (apologies if misspelled) is amazing - an excellent first impression for the hotel upon my arrival. "

"Nice clean property "

"Nice variety and pool area was unique. "

"clean room, nice lobby, live music"

"I immediately liked that you cannot enter the property without either being buzzed in by the front desk or having the key fob they gave you. The entryway was quite small and that threw me a little. It wasn't really a problem though, until checkout time. Unfortunately there isn't an elevator. Right off the "first floor" (floor above entry floor) is a nice little lounge to hang out. There is coffee, if you're a coffee drinker. I was extremely happy to see there's a fridge guests can put things into... just get a sharpie from the front desk and label your stuff. My room door stuck a bit and was hard to open after I unlocked it. But all the doors have a doorknob and deadbolt lock which made me feel very safe. My room was a 4-bed female only. It was very clean, sheets and comforter were nice and fresh. There are little lockers in the room. It comfortably fit my carry-on suitcase and backpack together. I don't think it would fit a large suitcase. Front desk doesn't have locks for the lockers, make sure you bring one. You will need a wide padlock, not a skinny one. Bathrooms were clean. Separate women's and men's bathrooms with showers in each, but shower doors don't latch, so it's like being at a gym locker room. This hostel was super close to several main bus lines, only 4 minute walk to Walgreens and another grocery/ shopping market (Merinos), and 8 minute walk to Union Station. Finally, you can leave your bags ($3 each) with the desk after checkout until 10pm if needed. 😎"

"Altogether a solid stay!"

"Very nice stay. Only negative was when checking in our room wasn't ready and we were told we would get a text when it was. We checked our bags at the desk and left to see the city and never got any notice our room was ready. When we got back to hotel around midnight after a concert we had to finish checking in. Turns out the person hadn't checked us in but only held a room for us. If the room had been ready earlier we would have stopped back in to finish check in as opposed to doing it late at night when we're were tired etc."
