Bruce, Jul 2019
Pros (+) That the hostel was close to boystown for pride weekend
Cons (-) The cleanliness of the whole hostel feels very run down and the bathrooms had spiders all over the place including tape all over some of the bathrooms. The breakfast was very poor only offering fruit and wheat bread. The air conditioning was also working sometimes but then didn’t work some other times. Worst hostel stay I’ve had so far traveling the country.

Pros (+) Clean and close to where my daughter lives. Lots of shopping and restaurants close by and an easy walk to Lake Michigan.
Cons (-) It was noisy on Friday night but better on Saturday night. The people were quieter. I only was able to get lukewarm water for a shower. Take your own bar of soap and a washcloth. There are none there.
