A hostel where you have the privacy close to having your own room. Spent 2 nights and it was a nice stay. A little more than some of the hostels I saw, but I chose the privacy over saving a few bucks. Would stay again. Also got a free upgrade from the twin to a full bed when I checked in.

Stay Classy is a great option if you are on a budget and looking for somewhere clean and convenient. The staff were friendly and helpful, all the areas I used were clean and up to date, and everyone was respectful of the spaces. A great place for me as a solo traveller!

Modern grocery store directly across the street. Quiet stretch of road (not noisy traffic). Bus line right out the door. Rail line just two blocks down.
