Reviewer Type: Extended Group
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: really cool and huge space. Lots of couches to chill with blankets. Really good hot dog place called Maestro about 20 min drive away. Friendly staff but not a very social place.
Negative: Nothing is included to be prepared with everything you need, or to pay for small things like a towel. The hair dryer never got hot. Expensive for the size and basic level of the room we had. It was very loud in the morning as we were right next to the front door. People were talking at full volume and slamming the door beginning at 7am. They also need better pillows.
Summary: Funky spacious hostel
