Stay Classy Hostel
2.0 star property
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (405)
"Overall, the property is fantastic! I haven’t stayed in a hostel since I was a teenager and I was very pleasantly surprised by this experience! I really enjoyed the convenience of the location, the property was well kept, and most of all, I felt safe. The only issue was the noise outside of the building. I had no issues with the people actually residing at the property. "

Old Town Inn
2.5 star property
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (1341)
"Very nice motel within walking distance of Old Town. Pool. Continental breakfast. A bed so comfortable you want to stay in it all day. One quibble - the bath towels. Can you actually buy towels that thin? Or do you buy regular towels and wash them to death? Whatever. If you want to stay near Old Town, you can’t beat the Old Town Inn for the price."
