| - Planet Traveler was a pleasant place to stay. One warning: be prepared to walk up (multiple) flights of stairs (which can be very tedious after a day of walking around).
The staff, when available, was friendly and happy to answer any questions. Common areas were clean, and offered computers, TV, board games, books, and more. They host events such as movie night. Bed rooms were strictly that, with no tables/shelves. Each had a locker room and bathroom associated with it. Breakfast was offered from 7/8am to 1pm every day.
The age range of patrons was diverse. Most people stuck to themselves, and respected others. There were the occasional few that were rowdy/made it difficult to sleep at night by repeatedly slamming doors/lockers.
My biggest complaints: Customer Service and temperatures.
Common areas/sleeping quarters were very warm. Temperatures in the rooms were set on a timer and could not be adjusted. 77 Degrees Fahrenheit is not a comfortable sleeping temperature. If they didn't close the rooftop at midnight, people would probably sleep outside to escape the heat/nightly sweat-fest.
Customer Service was rough in some cases. Upon arrival the doors were locked. My boyfriend and I rang the doorbell several times and no one answered. We got lunch, and returned an hour later. Again we rang the doorbell, knocked, and we called the office - no one answered. Eventually we got in because someone ran down the stairs. We then proceeded to wait at the front desk for someone to show up.
As long as you don't need anything, this place is great. Even checking out was a longer process than necessary as the desk was empty. As noted, they do not give receipts and do not expect help between midnight and 7 or 8am.
