A great place to hang your hat for a short while.

It was a great place to stay. Beautiful grounds with a pool. It was mostly quiet, a lot of young people looking like they were partying, but that is pretty much expected. There was a restaurant, plenty of seating inside and outside, I just had yougert, granola, and fruit, but still very good and a beautiful presentation. It was very relaxing hanging out at the pool after a long day white water rafting. I stayed in an all women dorm and a couple of the girls looked like they had moved in permanently with all their stuff all over the floor. I didn’t know that the shower didn’t have hot water so that was shockingly cold, apparently there is hot water in a different shower, why there wasn't a sign stating this in unbeknownst to me.

Gas station bathrooms, broken common area couches, motel like vibes. Even for $19 is overpriced. $5 more will put you in a better hostel.
