Henson United States of America

This place is amazing. I didn't get quite chance to meet the staff because I arrive late but they left instructions. There was a good breakfast. The dorm room was really well set up where you had space. The beds were comfy. The bathrooms were not only clean, but they seemed homey. This is an incredible hostel for a very fair price. Awesome location. Will stay again.
