It was an okay stay for a hostel. It was extremely hot in the room. When the window was open the noise from the street was impossible to sleep through and there was a strong smell of weed. The ladder to the top bunk made it difficult for an adult to get down (especially in the dark). I ended up just spending the one night I was there in the lobby and didn’t sleep at all. The shared bathroom was clean before people started using it and then there was used feminine products on the shower floor (disgusting). I’d probably stay there again in the future if I HAVE to but I’d take a private room and make sure I only stay in the winter months.
