Breakfast was really good, was able to have breakfast before even check-in, could store my luggage for free, and had a bathroom inside my room so that was really nice. The location is awesome, next to a lot of cool places, CVS, Starbucks and nice restaurants.

Really near from the con. I didn't eat there, the room with no AC was not bad, didn't sweat while sleeping. The bathroom was near, the water was warm good for bathing. The room mates were nice too.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.
