Room and bathrooms were very clean. Nice property with a great outdoor focus. Only concern was the key entry system to the outside doors was very picky. Recommend to stay again.

8/10 Very good

Virtual staff was super helpful and pretty responsive to all my questions and concerns. A lot to do in the area and less than a 20 minute drive anywhere. Only thing is if you’re a light sleeper bring an eye masks, ear plugs and your own blanket. Love the natural lighting the rooms get but if you’re wanting to sleep in there aren’t any black out curtains and walls are very thin, you can hear everything and the blankets that are provided are pretty itchy and thin. Other than those three things I would definitely stay here again.

10/10 Exceptional

Simple, clean accommodations that provide all you need (bed, bathroom) for a stay. Note that the semi-permeable walls (about a foot worth at the very top) allow light and sound in, so you may want to pack an eye mask and earplugs to help ensure a good night’s sleep. Our neighbors’ light was on most or all of the night, which I hadn’t anticipated keeping me up. It was quiet at night but we woke in the morning to people talking right outside our room in the common area; not Zenith’s fault, since it happened during their designated quiet hours, but I might not recommend the risk for very light sleepers. Overall this place is well-located, clean and straightforward. And I appreciate that more affordable hostel options like this exist! Thanks for a great stay.

Clean, great lounge and nice little store on the ground floor!

8/10 Very good

We really enjoyed our stay. It would be nicer if they had small garbage cans in our bedroom instead of having to go to the small kitchen or the bathroom every time. Also they should provide at least coffee in the morning. It doesn't have a hostel vibe, there's no intercultural exchange but the place is clean and very comfortable. No parking available right at the building but across the street.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Clean and comfortable place to stay, much nicer than anticipated. One surprise: the top slats of the room walls are offset (probably for airflow) which means that you hear every sound. Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper. Not being able to open the window was a little frustrating but for the price I can’t complain too much. The place was clean, felt safe, there was reserved parking with our room and spacious bathrooms.

Great location! Easy to walk to the local breweries and restaurants. Check-in was easy and our room was clean and spacious! We brought a box fan with to help with noise cancelling and we slept like babies. We’ll be back!

8/10 Very good

All of the information provided by staff was accurate and helpful. I did have an issue with parking since another person was in my spot. Since I was required to park in my space, I was worried about being ticketed. I communicated with the staff via email and Expedia, but did not get a response. It was short notice and I was told that they would respond within 24 hours. The issue was that would not help me in that moment which is not anyone's fault. Just an oversight.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

I thought the property was very nice, comfortable, and everyone was very nice! Truly, my only complaint is that you can hear EVERYTHING in the rooms, even from other guests down the hall. Most of the time, the noise level was okay, but there were some very inebriated and boisterous guests up all night during our stay who made it impossible to get any sleep. Other than the noise, the stay was great!
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

This is perfect for someone needing only a place to sleep! The room was decent sized. The living area was nice as well, no tv’s anywhere but there are games which I enjoyed. The rooms are connected up at the top so you WILL hear the person next to you snoring. However I put my white noise on my phone and fell asleep instantly. Ear plugs are provided as well. Super clean place, recommend checking out altitude!
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Trendy and beautiful, not practical for everyone.

This is a beautiful new hostel. Please don't expect a hotel. The amenities are super trendy and new, but basic. Ok for the price but not great. While the rooms are separate, there is a lot of shared space and absolutely no soundproofing, as you should expect from a hostel. This is a great space for young outdoorsy types or travelers. I would not recommend this place for kids, and especially not babies. Bring earplugs!
Verified review

4/10 Fair

A Bit Too Rustic For Us

Beds were futons and the other furniture consisted of 2 folding camp chairs and a cooler. Room was cold with no obvious thermostat. Towels were extra. There were 3 wall hooks for hanging things up, but nothing else. Walls were very thin and neighbors were loud late into the evening. Traffic noise was also significant into the evening. Parking was across a busy street and despite parking spots being tagged with your room name, there was no actual enforcement of any kind. In fact, there was no visible staff onsite except for a bartender. Wifi was quite good. Expect accommodations as if you were camping and bring *everything* you need, including furniture. Having to use your phone instead of a keycard was a bit awkward. Shared fridge for the entire facility was one of those dorm room fridges.

Reminds me of some of the best hostels I stayed in while traveling in Europe. Super clean, very modern, and a great vibe. Joe was there when we checked in, and was super helpful in helping us get settled. Great retail store below, and a cool looking bar as well (window-shopped the store, didn’t hit the bar). It is a hostel, so be prepared for shared bathrooms, etc., but we expected that and it was all in all a great stay. Will totally stay there again!

I do not have one positive thing to say about this place... I would warn anybody I know about ever having anything to do with it!

6/10 Good

I was disappointed that there were no staff anywhere during check-in. This information did come via an email, but it would've been helpful to have this information prior to booking. And while the place was clean, you have to pay extra for towels & the parking is a block away. Honestly, the whole thing was a bummer & I won't be staying there again. If all you need is a bed, you'll be good - but if you want ANYTHING else, you'll be left wanting.
