Awful!!!

1.0

Nothing.

Staff were arrogant, place is for individuals to get high. Beds are too small, bedding is disgusting. Found boxers and clothes down the side of the bed after the staff told myself to take the bedding off. Price is way too high! No air conditioning and small fans were soo loud you couldn’t sleep. Overall I had a poor experience and wouldn’t recommend anyone who is doing a road trip to join this ITH community or stop by at this Hostel.

Только месторасположение

Я знала, что я беру в хрстел, но ведь я бывала и в друних хостелах. Постель непонятного качества: не поймёшь - чистая она или век не стирали её, полотенца нет (попросили за неё 2 доллара), шкафчика личного нет (показали угол, где лежали чья то обувь, рюкзак и ещё что то... - о безопасности вещей и говорить не приходится...). Зато цена как у шикарного отеля! Я за такую цену жила в 4хзвездочном отеле ЛасВегаса
