Gotta know what you’re getting yourself into here. The value is acceptable given the low price and great downtown location as long as you have clear expectations that this ain’t luxury living :
1) this is a true hostel. Tight quarters in the room, and no telling who you’ll be with (my room had a lady that made speaker phone calls at 3am).
2) Rooms and especially the showers are pretty dirty. Bring sandals. Linens were provided and seemed generally clean.
3) You need to provide the lock for your valuables cubby under the bunks
4) 1st floor is a speakeasy, open to 2am weekends. It’s very loud. Earplugs available at front desk.
Staff is pretty friendly, and some people seemed to have fun hanging out in the well stocked kitchen.
