"The staff was outstanding, moving my room after first night experience of Sat. night's outside "bar smokers" whose smoke smell wafting up to my room. They didn't hesitate to move me to another room the next morning, and provided a slight "upgrade" without my request. Very nice room they moved me into. BTW, the other guests were very chill. Definitely will go back!"

"First hostel turning age 60 soon!! Loved it! Great space! The only problem was that a Bay Arean who was exiled with her grandkids in San Diego Cty from 2016-24, left in 2024 and is now back for 3-4 weeks and then will head back home to the Bay was not able to continue staying due to ID with SD county address. Total shame and exclusionary. I get that it’s an industry standard but it would have been great to continue on! Great kitchen!! Great amenities! Staff was great! Recommend!!! "

"I had a short but great stay. The bed, including the pillows and sheets, were SO comfortable! I stayed on the East side but did not have any issues with the freeway noise. Light does get in around the curtains so maybe not the spot for those who need total darkness, but otherwise would definitely recommend. It was also nice to be close to many restaurants, coffee shops, etc."
