Pros: Outdoor patio was delightful, comfy bed Luggage service was a big help. I brought a sousaphone and its case stayed in the office until I had to pack it up. Look on Instagram to see my Mardi Gras Day launch.
Cons: Each bed has an outlet. I'd add a reading lamp and a shelf. Could use cubbies in bunk room to help keep things straight. Maybe an underbed drawer. That fridge ... add baskets or more shelves. I'd brought in some yogurts and put them on the counter, reached for the labels ... and a staffer grabbed them and started messing with them. (Dude, where are you at 8 am when the whole area needs picking up?) The next day I found that the last one had been relabeled STAFF. Kitchen/dining got very crowded. It was cold outside and everyone wanting to visit packed in there. I went to the second floor lounge where there's a nice couch. Washroom could use a shelf by the sink, and a towel ring. Several people can dry their hands on the same hand towel.

Cons: One tiny thing, my boyfriends bunk, top, was super squeaky. To the point if he moved a tiny bit it made noise making it hard for him to sleep and disturbed others.

Pros: You would not know it by the sort of average photos that I saw on-line, but Site 61 was better in many ways than I expected. I hadn't stayed in a hostel for many years, so was not sure what I would find for such a (compared to hotels) low price. What I found was a well-run hostel operated by a kind and personable staff, a half dozen immaculate (and seemingly brand new) bathrooms (clean toilets, showers with great water pressure and warm water) and rooms that were also clean. i also enjoyed chatting with the staff in the mornings before I headed out for my day. Love this place !

Pros: I enjoyed that it was setup like a hostel. Community shower and restroom with a community kitchen.
Also, I enjoyed that they offer ear plugs right at the front desk. So in case that you don't want to hear your neighbors then you can use them to get some beauty rest.
