| This was my second time in this hostel. It is one of the best domestic hostels that I have stayed in, with a great layout and good people on staff. | ||

| My stay was very pleasant. The facilities were much more than I expected - very spacious, clean and comfortable. Everyone who worked there was exceedingly helpful and friendly. The location was perfect. The parking was important for me as I carried a 16 foot long kayak so I found the ample and close by lot just right. I could not have asked for more from the experience. Thanks. | ||
