Great Hostel
Amazing spot, especially for solo travelers. Never had a hostel who encourages interaction amongst guest, and activities as much as them!

Great Hostel! This one rivals European Hostels which is encouraging for USA. It is close to everything and they really make it a fun environment. I felt myself and my stuff was safe. Very clean. One staff member, I think her name was RiRi (German) who worked late night helped me with ideas for sights to see and I shared some of my suggestions for travel as well. Staff was great and surprised at all the activities they provided. Will def recommend.

5-Star at Howzit!!
Have you ever heard of a five star hostel? Well, now I have stayed in one! The building was awesome, the team was awesome, the Daily activities were beyond awesome! I love to manage one back in the continental US. This team really knows what they’re doing AND how to provide an awesome safe place to stay for travelers.
