Convenient location next door to the train station and blocks from the beach. Perfect for one night stay. They allow late check in and there is plenty of free street parking. Beds include curtains for privacy and the showers are clean. Coffee in the morning is fantastic. While they do offer two eggs for you to cook and pancake batter to put on the griddle, Jeannine's is just down the street for one of the best breakfasts in town. Book ahead to get the best price.
Nothing.

I thought that the breakfast was excellent! Really rad to be able to make your own pancakes, eggs, etc. Coffee being brewed by the staff super early was amazing. I also loved the communal area, all of the other guests were super cool. Tons of games and books available to use while staying!
I think the beds could be a little more comfy, but for a hostel it was not bad at all. I have serious back issues and was able to sleep through each night no problem. I don't really have any complaints.

Staff is helpful and accommodating. Comfy beds, large bathroom, outdoor space is top notch. All this so, so close to the train, restaurants, and beach!

I didn’t try the breakfast, but the location is pretty good!
Some of the stuff people were so rowdy, and particularly this person ( transgender ) when he/she was at the front desk put a very loud music on the speakers which made me go away because it was annoying.
