"Great budget location for exploring and hiking the park. Kitchen gets busy and was missing spoons (common issue in shared kitchens- we had our own so it wasn’t a problem, somewhat dated and mostly clean. Liked the easy self check-in as well. Not a rowdy or loud hostel- we stayed here with our kids in a family room and had a great sleep and stay."
"The room was very comfortable and our host was great. The continental breakfast had yogurt, fruit, bread, cereal and was available early in case you wanted to head out early and the hot tub was great after a day of hiking."
"Absolutely fantastic staff, friendly and willing to help.
Our room was spotless and staff that cleaned it went above and beyond, we will definitely be staying there again."
