I heard from an employee at another hostel that this place is permanently closed? Wow. Well I will give a good review but will qualify it to say that the staff came off immature and annoying even if they were likeable. Housekeeping was great, very thorough.

Although our room was full, the people who shared the room were polite and didn't infringe on other people's abilities to sleep, read or enjoy their stay. There was a kitchen, tv room, and laundry facilities available. The property is on a bus route so that those without vehicles could easily explore the city. The staff was helpful. These things made my stay an enjoyable one.

It is okay. The wifi speed is slow but they have very few parking. Although they claim they have free parking, be prepared not to get a spot and have to park on the street which is not free during daytime: 8am-6pm
