Unfortunately, the stay was not good for me. I was put in a room with roommates that made me uncomfortable and with their outdoor equipment taking over the whole room. So I reached out to the property management. They couldn't so much about it so I hung out at the living room couch and left early morning.

This hostel was good. Beds were comfy but the room was a bit small. The kitchen/dining area was nice but we could only find one bowl. Overally it was a good place to crash for the night with some nice views in the area
