Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
For a hostel, this was run pretty well. There are many friendly staff members on hand. Key card access gets you inside the hostel and the room. The bathrooms are co-ed, which was off-putting at first, but the main doors are left open for safety. There is a laundry room, a massive kitchen, and a rec room. I stayed in the 6-bedroom room, which isn't ideal, but you get what you pay for. The location is central to mass transit, making it one of the primary reasons I chose this location.
