Robert, West Hartford

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I stayed in the hostel section of the property (they also have regular motel rooms). The hostel rooms were clean and well-maintained. They were a little short of storage space near the beds (a shelf by the bunk would have been nice). The hostel staff cleaned the rooms and toilet/shower daily and replaced the used towels daily. There were a couple less-than-considerate people sharing the room, but that's the chance you take in a hostel. The common areas (an outdoor covered patio and a kitchen) were pretty nice, and they were clean and well-maintained. The staff was friendly and helpful. Net: If you want to stay in a hostel, this is a good one -- you could do far worse.

I was happy i could book this room 24 hours before i arrived. Staff was kind and accommodating. The room is basic, but very clean. The property is old and in a residental area. It has no amenities and requires a three block walk to get anything. Key West is a small island, so nothing is to far to walk. If a traveler is looking for a clean place to sleep and shower, I would recommend this property.
