4/10 Fair

Safe but lacking common area and kitchen.
Normally a Hostal has a kitchen for everyone to use! Plus a common area to sit and relax and meet others. This place no longer has a common area because it was outside and is now dug up. No kitchen was shown to me. Bed was fine but walls were thin. Stayed here to save money. It was fine and safe! Parking available. Guy at check in was very nice and helpful! Just wish is offerred more than a bed to sit and plan my day! They did have a small refrigerator in the room that serves 10 beds.
Outside common area destroyed!
My bed
One room with 6 beds
Curtains are nice

4/10 Fair

It was clean with old furniture and a somewhat remodelled, however there is a very bad smell of urine in the room that is hard to tolerate.We were informed it is because of the AC ,and some animals living in the attick.Maybe change the filter??Would not stay there again.Who knows what we were breathing in all night.Also its not safe for little kids ears as you can hear any and everything that goes on next room....
