Overall a good hostel. School book Locker for a carry on/backpack in the room. Beds had light/outlet. Rooms had AC. Much better than other hostels I stayed at in the area. Close to the convention center.
Like all hostels, there were times that the bathroom was occupied when I need to go. Luckily, there are a few scattered around the floors and I was always able to find an open one.

Filtered water in common space
Across from a nightclub, so it’s really loud even if earplugs in and over ear headphones.
