This hostel was amazing! The staff was extremely friendly, bilingual and always willing to lend a helping hand with anything we needed. They helped us with maps, festivals, bike rentals etc. In the morning they offer free continental breakfast. Cory, the expert pancake maker of the staff members, not only made us all pancakes in the morning, but he hand-deliverd them to our tables. He was very friendly and so were the rest of the staff and fellow international guests. The rooms were extremely clean, had lots of personality and were comfortable. A deck on the second floor was open to all of the guests and staff. We were even able to see fireworks from that location. Lots of great Hangout spaces: the main commons, decks, back porch where you can congregate with fellow musicians and private rooms share additional living rooms/kitchens.
