| - Not quite low-brow hosteling.
Having only previously hosteled in Europe (sheets, towels, and two condoms), wasn't sure what to expect of a hostel in the middle of Cleveland, not quite the most international of cities in the US. Nevertheless, overall had an excellent experience.
Checked in on a Tuesday, when the place was nearly deserted - apparently they get more traffic on weekends. Shared room was ~$35 after taxes, and the bunk was clean, comfortable, and odorless. Same for the private bathroom/showers in the hall. Free WiFi is available building-wide, even on the spacious roof deck, which offers a nice view of Downtown Cleveland. Free parking across the street for cars, bikes downstairs.
Agree with previous reviews about a lack of presence at the front desk. Did discover that the staffer is more often than not available by phone.
No free condoms; it's America.
