Good for a night or...

Liked: Located in downtown.
Disliked: Room was stuffy and hot even with the fan. But we’re still thankful of it because it became our white noise at night.

Great little hostel

Liked: The manager [I assume. A middle aged man] was so pleasant and full of information. We were close to the water, park, and restaurant
Disliked: At times, we had to wait for the bathroom, but to be expected. The bed frame was squeaky but not a huge issue.

Good place.

Liked: The staff service and location were excellent.
Disliked: The electricity settings in the room, all the wall sockets didn't work unless the light switch was on.
