    The location is incredible! The strict rules about alcohol and drugs on the property keep the place from being a party zone. Clean, quiet, cheap and comfortable. And a view. Can’t ask for more.

    The hostel was lively and conducive to a vacationing vibe. Reminds me of a good camping road trip. There’s a theatre and large mess hall with pool table and lots of places to hang out after dark. The beds are comfy and clean.

    First of all, the HI Hostel franchise has never been less than great (I had already stayed in NYC and Chicago). And yet, this one might take the crown. First, the staff is super warm and helpful. Then, I think I have never ever slept in beds so...
