"I’ve stayed at both hostels in this property. I booked a private room this stay. The beds were very comfortable. Staff was friendly. There was a light out in one of the bathrooms but there was no wait time for showers. The kitchen is located at the back of the hostel so that was a little difficult to find. I like the location as everything is walkable. I will stay here again 😊"

As for location, there are a few attractions nearby (municipal swimming pool/hot tubs, botanical garden, and oceanfront walk), as well as basic amenities (small grocery store, bakery, etc.). But...
