This place is basically a homeless shelter with a small fee. Absolutely NONE of the pictures were accurate, I walked in the door everything was dirty, there was trash all over the room I was going to stay in. There was holes in the wall of the bathroom and looks like it hasnt been cleaned in a while. And there is no AC so it was really warm. Not sure why they call it "modern" when in fact there is literally nothing modern about it. As soon as I walked in the door, I was shocked because the inside of the hostel basically matches the surrounding outdoor area... I guess I was optimistic. So I took a lost on this and booked elsewhere but I definitely do not recommend. Also note you have to call a few different numbers to check in which is strange but I will admit the staff/manager she was actually really nice and chill. She offered a nicer property elsewhere but I declined.

There is a manager on premises but there is an early check in fee of $8 and a late check in fee of the same amount. I found the place to be comfortable, safe and easy to walk to the main road for food or transportation. The fee per night is super reasonable. I booked one night first to check it out but then booked another 4 nights as I felt good there.

5Would never stay there again! The rooms were tiny, and stuffed with bunk beds, the bathroom had holes in the walls, the parking was crazy. Now for single, traveling person, this might work. But I personally need my privacy.

Your Not The Customer Here

Seriously in need of evicting all residents and bringing in a solid house manager. Sticky fingers, bed bugs, dirty linens, fake love….. the closer to my leave date the more crazy the roommate behavior and the overall narcissist theatre continued

Scary Trap House

One night stands only for a hot shower and to escape bad weather. The residents who stay all day need to be evicted. The elderly that stay are absolutely kind and deserving. The rest of the staff need to be replaced. The neighbors on the street are always checking the people who stay at the house on the beat. Due to the constant trap house environment the honest customers are ran off the property.
