Denise

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The staff was very nice and the room was very spacious. However, our room was on the Rampart street side, which was very noisy in the middle of the night and for about 2 hours, it sounded like there was a garbage truck idling on the street below. Also very disturbing. I found a pubic hair in my towel as I was starting to towel off. After, I was very paranoid and felt the sheets made me very itchy. I paid $90 for a queen. There are a few hotels that had specials for the same night at or close to that price so next time I'll just book a hotel and not a hostel.

The room was sooo clean! I also loved how secure it was. You need a key card to get into the building as well as to the elevator area. And if you arrive before check in or have a later flight in the day they have lockers you can use for your luggage. The staff was super friendly! We will definitely stay again !

I really like the location — it’s excellent and close to everything! There are so many great restaurants in the area. However, my experience was disappointing overall. I paid for a private room, but the bed was very uncomfortable and there was too much noise. The bathroom exhaust fan didn’t work either, which made things worse. The receptionist wasn’t friendly at all, acting more like a robot with no personality. With such a great location, I expected a much better stay.
