As soon as I stepped out of the Uber, I was surrounded by 5 individuals who tried to rob me. I ran a few blocks to the gas station. I contacted Expedia and they wouldn't refund me but told me that I could contact the property and be moved to a different location. I checked out the second location and it was the same set up with people waiting around outside to ambush guests. I went back to the gas station to wait since it was 24 hrs and while I was there I spoke to an HPD officer who told me that the hostels in the city are scams and this is what happens. They set up guests to be robbed. He said I was better off staying at the airport or getting a hotel. I looked at several hostels on Expedia and they are the same picture but digitally altered to change the paint color or kitchen backsplash. The place I went to was a run down trap house in the middle of the ghetto. The cop actually told me that I was lucky to be alive. I told Expedia this needs to be taken down as unsafe but they didn't care.

Really dirty, explains the lack of photos, the shower knob is broken. There is no staff on sight. The people I was with in my room were really cool tho. This place has so much more untapped potential.

My credit card was compromised leaving me with limited funds. I booked the layover an i never knew that service was available between the rate for a bed and one key credit I was able to have a one night stay to get to the airport the following day- thank you it made a scary situation better
