The Society Hotel was my first experience in a hostel. I like the bunk bed style of the hotel and the "hangout" areas provided. One thing I did realize is staying in a hostel setting has the potential for germs. Several people were coughing in the bunk room, which made me nervous that I would get sick while on the road. Also, the location isn't the best; there is a high percentage of the homeless population in the area complete with a shelter about a block away. The homeless population did make me nervous about parking my car. I was in the city with my car full of camping gear and other amenities for traveling. I first parked at the pay and parked down the street, but after reading the reviews of the parking garage and talking with a local bartender at the pizza place, I decided I need to move my car to prevent my belonging from getting stolen. I suggest the Fox towers parking garage. They have a security officer at the entrance at all hours and many cameras. It is also in a nicer part of town. I paid $43.00 for two nights and one whole day. It will be an expensive option if you are staying for an extended period; however, it gave me the peace of mind needed to enjoy my trip.
