Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    It delivered just what it promised. One of the cheapest hotel, but accessible to the main roads, free parking, well-equipped kitchen. There is no breakfast available though. But good restaurants and Starbucks around

    I am grateful to the staff for helping my friends and I stay safe. They made sure we felt comfortable and safe. We didn’t know much about the area so it was nice someone was looking out for us. They also fixed our rooms issue. The staff was helpful in getting shuttle for us on time.

    Location is great. There is an excellent bakery/coffee shop just a block away. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was not large, but the shower/toilet were very nice. The staff was over-the-top wonderful. They checked in on us, got us a fabulous space heater when we were feeling a bit cold, and answered questions about transportation options to the train station. This is not a fancy hotel, but it shone in all the important ways, and was way cheaper than the fancier places in town. We would definitely stay here again.

    I loved the location, close to downtown and right across from the train station. I loved the lobby...very comfortable and entertaining with the giant bears. My room was comfortably warm and the bed was very comfortable. I felt safe at this hotel.

    Cheap, clean, self-checkin/checkout (simple!). It's not really hostel, more like B&B.. but I appreciate clean linen, towel, and well-maintained bath/restroom.
