Good for a what it was. Cheap, free breakfast. Bed was clean, bathrooms were clean. Chinatown is right outside the doors and Downtown is a short walk away.
Stay was comfortable. However, the property said they validate parking and scanned my ticket. When I try to leave the parking garage, I see that my card is charged $60 for parking which is ridiculous. Really disappointed with this.
Clean well appointed hostel. We stayed in a private room with an ensuite which was larger than expected, clean and had a very comfortable bed. The breakfast was excellent, the staff helpful and the location. Other than a bit of noise from one of the dorms on our floor on the first night (which stopped when people asked them to keep the noise down) it was surprisingly quiet. Would recommend.
