I was hesitant only because this was my first time staying at a hostel and I’m scared of everything. I never felt afraid. I chose Embers because I traveled alone yet I didn’t necessarily want to be alone. Perfect choice! Ember’s is a clean/safe place to stay. The soft bed with clean white bedding made night time comfortable. I just adore Vinnie, Adrian, and Jacob. They really know how to take care of you. They never skipped a beat. I only stayed for Labor Day weekend and I’ll tell you what I didn’t want to leave. So much to do! Great food all around the Embers and my favorite store Trader Joe’s is a six minute walk. I didn’t have a car and it didn’t matter. The cleaners Alicia and Christine are an asset! I don’t have anything negative to say. All I can say is thank you! This is a gem 💎
