Guest Reviews

• Perry (2/5): - I demand a refund bed for dirty baby bug too much going on outside dirty this dirt everywhere
• Divon (2/5): - This place is basically a homeless shelter with a small fee. Absolutely NONE of the pictures were accurate, I walked in the door everything was dirty, there was trash all over the room I was going to stay in. There was holes in the wall of the bathroom and looks like it hasnt been cleaned in a while. And there is no AC so it was really warm. Not sure why they call it "modern" when in fact there is literally nothing modern about it. As soon as I walked in the door, I was shocked because the inside of the hostel basically matches the surrounding outdoor area... I guess I was optimistic. So I took a lost on this and booked elsewhere but I definitely do not recommend. Also note you have to call a few different numbers to check in which is strange but I will admit the staff/manager she was actually really nice and chill. She offered a nicer property elsewhere but I declined.
• Johnathon (10/5): - Community
• Jason (6/5): - Nice place
• Abraham (4/5): - Awful
• Victor (6/5): - Nothing real bad, there was some issues
• Steven (10/5): - There is a manager on premises but there is an early check in fee of $8 and a late check in fee of the same amount. I found the place to be comfortable, safe and easy to walk to the main road for food or transportation. The fee per night is super reasonable. I booked one night first to check it out but then booked another 4 nights as I felt good there.
• Blessing (10/5): - Good place
• Elizabeth (8/5): - THK u
• John (2/5): - 5Would never stay there again! The rooms were tiny, and stuffed with bunk beds, the bathroom had holes in the walls, the parking was crazy. Now for single, traveling person, this might work. But I personally need my privacy.
• Jose (10/5): - Affordable and peace of mind
• Gary (2/5): - Bed bugs, hot water games, sticky fingers, customers are not safe. Manager harasses, police calls, all the great trap house issues but over all needs to evict majority of everyone and management but the elderly.
• Gary (2/5): Scary Trap House - One night stands only for a hot shower and to escape bad weather. The residents who stay all day need to be evicted. The elderly that stay are absolutely kind and deserving. The rest of the staff need to be replaced. The neighbors on the street are always checking the people who stay at the house on the beat. Due to the constant trap house environment the honest customers are ran off the property.
• Gary (2/5): Your Not The Customer Here - Seriously in need of evicting all residents and bringing in a solid house manager. Sticky fingers, bed bugs, dirty linens, fake love….. the closer to my leave date the more crazy the roommate behavior and the overall narcissist theatre continued
• Gary (2/5): Narcissistic Management - Hot water games, bed bugs, sticky fingers, narcissistic tweekers
• Gary (2/5): Sticky Fingers Trap House - Bed bugs and horrible management. Fridge looks like rigamortis. The manager is a tweeker
• Gary (2/5): Sgt Newman Usmc - The place is in desperate need of new management. It was good for the first two weeks while the second visit was a horror movie.
• Jose (10/5): - So far its good to stay here
• Ferdinand (6/5): - It's an o in property for a night or two
• SARAH (8/5): Manager is good man to doing this to me - I stays there to wating for my family to come and it was peace place for tempery not perfects and still a place to come and sleep every one is cool no one borrow you and managers is good Ron and he is very kind to me and good man

• Elizabeth (8/5): - Thank You.
• Asuka (2/5): Awful - This place is TERRIBLE.
 Please don’t waste your money.
Book a better place, even if it costs a little more. I saw a review saying there was no toilet paper or soap, but there actually was. However, they didn’t give me a towel.
This place has nothing except a bed with a dirty blanket. This seems to be a place where people with no housing stay. They were complaining about everything, and that’s why their situations remain unstable. When you arrive, you’re given a bed, and someone else might be sleeping in the bunk below you. The other guests do nothing but stay there.
There was a pregnant woman who wouldn’t stop talking on the phone. She kept burping loudly, which was disgusting. Two men frequently came to her room (my room) and stayed all night. She even brought a TV from downstairs and set it up in the room. The volume was so loud, and they didn’t care if others were trying to sleep. They even turned off the lights during the day just to watch TV.
 One man didn’t bother knocking and opened the door while I was in the bathroom. The longer I stayed, the more problems I noticed with this place.
 Please choose a better place to stay to keep yourself safe and comfortable!
• Verified traveler (4/5): - The place is filthy. I down think anyone have ever done any cleaning. You know it's a class operation when they have an old fly strip hanging in the kitchen
• Vivienne (2/5): - DO NOT STAY HERE. I had the worst experience here. It is basically like a trap/drug house and is in a dangerous area. It was noisy and very very dirty and the owner is aggressive and not friendly. One night that I stayed there was fighting between two guys and they were kicked out at 3am in the morning and I felt unsafe so I left early. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to stay here.
• Peter (2/5): - A homeless shelter probably would be better
• Vashon (2/5): - Literally reminded me of a trap house. An absolute mess, noisy and crowed. Never again. I wish they let you upload videos on here.
• Africa (2/5): Horrible service - Paid and confirmed my room for the night just to show up after work to no room and it was overbooked so people were sleeping on the sofa, it was dirty and I'm from our of town was left without somewhere to stay on a holiday where everybody was charging double not happy hotel. Com SHOULD NOT have them listed in their store and I'm not going to use them any longer because of this
• Elizabeth (2/5): - Perdí mi dinero llewmgue tarde en la noche y no tenían cama después que me cobraron y luego la cama que me dieron esa noche el que supuestamente pago por ella apareció y me brinco encima por su cama. No pude dormir todo sucio y apestoso. Solicitó un reembolso de dinero porque no voy a reservar más con ustedes.
• Rafael (2/5): - Very dirty
• Rafael (2/5): - Lugar muy sucio y desagradable
• Jose (10/5): Good and comfort. - Vacations
• Verified traveler (4/5): "Modern" Indeed - Difficult to find, no sign, appears to be a residence. Difficult check-in procedure and unprofessional service. Grimy and dirty. Rude patrons playing audio and being loud late because there are no rules. Many other patrons are clearly living there rather than traveling. Smoke detector chirps every minute or so. Woke to the sound of a rooster.
