HI - Santa Cruz

At age 72 I had never used a hostel. It was a wonderful experience. Traveling with 2 teenagers appreciated the automatic curfew and they were fine with it. Location could not have been better. Wish you had more in NM, Colo area.

The location was close to the beach. One shower for 10 people to share is not ideal. I liked the cottage concept. The provided luggage lockers were outside, and therefore, not clean. It was hard to tell if the blanket and pillow were clean, as stains were visible.

Location was fine, but parking was frustrating. I drove around for a good 45 mins. Finally we decided to go have dinner and then try to park again. I witnessed a meter maid remove the white covers off of spaces that HI SC guests could have used. The city of SC needs to be more helpful to those who also are bringing in the revenue to the city. We enjoyed the stay at HI SC. Thank you!
