"Very nice hostle. I have not stayed in many hostels in the States but this was one of if not the nicest.The location is a bit out of the way, and way far from where I came from (another hotel in LA); but found the local restaurants interesting enough. Coffee in the morning would have been a nice touch. Getting buzzed in to wait in the yard 1/2 an hour before ckin rather than outside on the sidewalk with bags might have been appreciated as well. Otherwise, nice place, nice stay :). Oh - and one...
