"The manager and staff were extremely helpful with walking to the places we wanted to go. Also very helpful with arranging a ride back to the airport. This place was very simple, yet it is a hostel. And the room was very clean. There were construction materials sitting around near the entrance which could be picked up,the staff was so excellent though, I didn't mind. It was very comfortable and homey. The breakfast room was the same, comfortable and homey. They have a place to keep luggage...
