Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property is really cute and clean and I enjoyed having my own private room with a bathroom and lots of light. This is unique for a hostel! The Beer Barn that is located behind the establishment and under my window was super loud until early in the mornings when it finally closed—on weekdays no less. I discovered earplugs in the lobby and that helped a lot.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The Hostel itself is fairly quiet. I was a little worried when I checked in and there was a busy bar, but once you get upstairs to the rooms it’s very quiet. It’s pretty clean for what it is and everyone in the maps room was quiet and respectful. The bunks do get quite warm so maybe bring an eye mask and some ear plugs to help and then you can keep the curtain open for more air.
