2/10 Poor

Annoying people

Nice kitchen for a hostel, too many freeloaders, working and visiting the place. Hot tub broken, pool not heated. Old men are either dominating the TV watching 40yr old movies or youngsters playing video games. Not enough bathrooms . Staff apart from the cleaning women are a bunch of boring gen Zers obsessed with other people's food.

Basically Perfection

Stayed with my 15-year-old daughter (hostel stays with her sometimes). This place is covered in gorgeous art, the staff are more than welcoming, the facility was so clean, our room was comfortable. The other guests were friendly. It was basically perfection.

8/10 Very good

California experience

A less expensive alternative to hotels, this place was friendly, not especially clean, and had a diverse client base. The kitchen was large and had space for your food. Pleasant outdoor seating areas. They organized a few group events that were fun. Don’t rely on any off-street parking, but it’s not too hard to find a spot in this residential neighborhood. Public transportation (bus) not very convenient but downtown not far if you have a bicycle.

6/10 Good

California experience 1970

A fairly worn grungy hostel. All the basics, but could use updating of common areas. And better cleaning of room. Staff friendly and helpful. Up charges for hot tub use. Mattress comfortable enough but synthetic sheets and thin blanket. Plenty of outlets and WiFi good. Breakfast starts late, 8:30. There is only street parking, free but may not be nearby. Public transportation is not nearby.
