Site 61 Hostel, hotel in New Orleans

Offering air-conditioned rooms in the Mid-City district of New Orleans, Site 61 Hostel is 2 miles from Caesars Superdome.

I was told I'd have a locker for my suitcase. Got in there they didn't know what the heck to do with me. Didn't know my room didn't know where it was we got that situated I asked to put my suitcase in my locker they said we have no Locker for your suitcase so I got false advertisement. Put my suitcase by my bed went outside to smoke a cigarette went to the kitchen to get water or whatever got up the next morning zip my suitcase up again and manage to get out of there got on the ship opened up my suitcase to get my jean shorts but they weren't there so I got clothing stolen out of my suitcase because they didn't have a locker to put my suitcase in like I was told and October when I made the reservation. Try getting in contact with the manager and the lady I asked that she was and she didn't even know where I was staying what to do ask questions she didn't know I was completely lost I'm finally getting Unwound with a little bit for my experience from site 61 it was definitely not a New Orleans motel like I asked for and paid for it got there and it was nothing at all what I was told. I would appreciate it if someone would contact me that has authority over site 61 Motel.. come to find out it was a site 61 hostel and I thought that hostile number was a French or Mexican name I didn't know what the heck it meant but when I made the reservation if they were going to route for me and have a locker and enjoy my stay and how could I it was h e l l.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    The reality was better than the pictures, cleanliness, privacy, location of the place, staff, breakfast, safety, everything was perfect. I was in New York and there was a hostel with the same name. I stayed there for several days, but this hostel in New Orleans was the best in everything. How I wish New York had a place like this.

    I like everything in this hostel. The kitchen is fully equipped, very clean and roomy. The bathrooms are always kept clean with many clean towels. There are a lot of seats/sofas in the lounge and dining room. I like everything in this hostel. It is the best hostel that I have been in USA so far. Thanks to the manager and all staff working in the hostel. You guys have done a great job.

    Fantastic hostel. The staff was super cool, check in and out was super easy (all virtual, no need to give back keys or anything). Great location, all was clean and organized. Definitely recommend for solo travelers, there were plenty of activities and it's a great place to meet new people.
