Probably the nicest hostel I've stayed at. Great facilities! great location. Parking is a little bit of a hassle; the 30 minute parks out front for loading/unloading are never free, but the supermarket parking next door works (limited time there too), and I observed others doing the same. Then you have to stash your car further away, but at least that parking is free. The supermarket is great. really this isi a terrrific place to stay.
